A 23-year-old Superior Township man is in police custody following a stabbing at a townhouse on MacArthur Boulevard Tuesday morning.
The man was taken in for questioning about 1:30 p.m. after speaking with investigators on the phone and surrendering, said Derrick Jackson of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
Police did not say where the man was when taken into custody.
The 18-year-old woman who was stabbed in the leg was in stable condition at the hospital Tuesday afternoon, Jackson said.
Police were called to the 8700 block of MacArthur Boulevard just before noon after receiving a report of a woman being stabbed. Neighbors said they saw the woman sitting on the porch of the townhouse in a pool of blood.
When deputies arrived, the woman had been taken to the hospital and a male suspect was gone. It still wasn't clear Tuesday evening if the stabbing was intentional or accidental, according to Jackson.

Lets see now: someone stabs someone else in the leg. The wounded person is taken to the hospital and is still in "stable condition" several hours after they are stabbed. But... it is still unclear whether the stabbing was accidental or intentional. Lets see now, the perp fled the scene of the stabbing. Did he flee because he knew he'd be punished for his ACCIDENTALLY stabbing the other person?? Did he barricade himself in his residence and then flee again because he thought he'd be arrested for ACCIDENTALLY stabbing someone?? If he did in fact believe that accidental stabbings mean automatic arrest, THEN we have someone who is truly "a person of interest."
