The Greenbelt Police Department said no one was initially injured. The suspect was taken to the Cheltenham Youth Detention Center. In a emailed statement to WTOP, the department confirmed that the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office Youth Justice Division was consulted and, because the suspect is a minor, police will not release any additional information.
