Police Arrest Man In Glen Burnie For Attack With Sharp Object

GLEN BURNIE, MD — The Anne Arundel County police said Wednesday that a man with no fixed address is facing assault charges after he slashed another man Tuesday evening with a sharp object. The victim suffered injuries from what he "believes was some type of edged weapon," said a police spokesman.

The police arrested Michael Joseph Grossman, 49, on charges of first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, according to a police report.

Officers recovered a knife when they arrested Grossman, but the department had not determined Wednesday whether it was used in the alleged assault, said Officer Marc Limansky, the police spokesman.

Officers responded at about 5:32 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18, to the report of a cutting in the area of the 6700 block of Chesapeake Center Drive.

An unidentified man told the officers "he had been assaulted by an acquaintance" in the vicinity of Route 10 and Ordnance Road, near Interstate 695, the police report stated.

The police searched the area with the help of a K-9 unit and apprehended Grossman.

The victim was taken to the Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury to his upper body, the police report said.
