Happy New Year!

Reston rang in 2008 not with a bang, but with a stabbing off Glade Drive.

In Reston, authorities said that at about 2 a.m. on Tuesday, officers were called to Glade Drive and Mariginella Street on a report of a stabbing.

Once at the scene, police found a man suffering from non-life-threatening stab wounds.

Police did not say whether that victim was taken to a local hospital.

Unfortunately, our longstanding theory is true: Crime has escalated from sticks and stones to something worse.
