​Man arrested in vicious stabbing attack on 2 Detroit EMTs

DETROIT -- Police say they arrested a man suspected of stabbing and slashing two emergency medical technicians who were helping an injured woman along a Detroit street.

Police say the man, who was arrested Tuesday night, is also being held on warrants in an inactive 2006 homicide case and a sexual assault case.

The woman who was being treated before the early Tuesday morning attack fled with the suspect and was also arrested, according to police.

Additional details are expected to be released by police Wednesday.

Authorities say EMTs Kelly Adams and Alfredo Rojas had wounds to their faces and hands from the attack, which involved a knife or some other sharp object. They remained hospitalized in serious condition.
