A woman is being treated for non life-threatening injuries after being stabbed Friday morning at Potomac Metro Station (700 14th St. SE).
Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD) said that just before noon June 30, MTPD and DC Fire Emergency Medical Services (DC FEMS) went to the station after getting a report of a stabbing.
