Machete Attacks Reappear in Maryland

Well, it looks like some Maryland criminals are back to threatening people with machetes again. TBD has the details on two incidents in which a long blade was used to injure or intimidate someone. In the first, four men approached another man outside of a Giant in Long Branch, and one proceeded to hit him with the handle of the machete while demanding his wallet — the blade-wielder then cut the man after he handed it over; in the second incident, “several machete-wielding suspects chased [a] victim before they got into three cars and drove away.”
