Baltimore man sentenced to three decades in prison after box-cutter attack near Light Rail station

A 28-year-old man was sentenced Thursday to 33 years in prison for stabbing the mother of his child with a box cutter and slashing her neck, the Baltimore state's attorney's office said.

In September 2013, Christopher Goode argued with the woman near a Light Rail station in South Baltimore. He repeatedly slashed her with the box cutter before she ran away and yelled, "Help, he's trying to kill me," the office said in a news release.

She collapsed bleeding from her neck and he fled, prosecutors said. She was stabbed 10 times in her neck and chest and required nearly 100 stitches.

A month-long manhunt ensued and police named Goode "Public Enemy No. 1." He was arrested by U.S. marshals in Virginia Beach, where he was staying at a motel.

The marshals said he was found with the victim and that she had helped him flee.

Goode, of Baltimore, was found guilty in February of attempted second-degree murder.
