Police Release New Video of Fairfax County Butt Stabbing Suspect
Same man likely responsible for six incidents.
Fairfax County Police on Wednesday released a new video of the suspect in a string of serial stabbings in Fairfax County.
Police say the same man is likely responsible for six incidents since February in which young women were stabbed in their backsides while shopping.
On Monday, an area women told police she felt a pinch on her butt while shopping at T.J. Maxx in Fairfax Towne Center on June 8. When she turned around, she saw a man picking up clothes and thought she had been cut by a hanger — a sequence similar to other reports of butt stabbings.
