A man was stabbed, a female security officer was struck in the head and another woman was arrested last night during an incident at Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

Cpl. Greg Prioleau, spokesman for the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, said the violence grew out of an argument shortly before 9 p.m. at the car rental turn-around facility behind the light rail station, where rental cars are cleaned after being returned to BWI.

Names of the injured people and details of the incident were not immediately available.

The man, who was stabbed in the groin, and the injured woman were each taken by ambulance to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where the man was in serious condition, the spokesman said. The woman's condition was unknown.

Prioleau said officers arrested a woman at the scene, and were questioning her at the airport police office.
