This was definitely brown on brown action, Jeremy. East Baltimore has generally led the City in edged weapons encounters, which did a lot to help me with the knife survey in the 90s.

With the number of knives being carried in Baltimore, Jeremy, many of these robberies are going to escalate to stabbings. In Eastern Baltimore County it has already escalated. Back in September Joe was stabbed in the neck three miles further out Eastern Avenue, which runs parallel with Fleet Street.
