Police in Baltimore County are investigating a quadruple stabbing overnight that officers believe may have involved road rage.

Cpl. John Wachter, a spokesman for the county police department, said four people were injured at about 2 a.m. in a stabbing incident near the Eastpoint Mall that may have been sparked by a confrontation in traffic. One person was taken to Franklin Square Hospital Center for treatment and another to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Wachter said, but he could provide no details on the status of the other two people.

"I have no idea of the severity of the stab wounds," he said. "Everything is still sketchy at this time."

No arrests had been made in the case by midmorning, and there was no information on any suspects.
