Rockville police arrested Tuesday night a suspect wanted in connection to a quadruple stabbing that occurred July 20, according to a department post on social media.

Ricky Lee Dyson Jr. of Rockville was arrested at 10 p.m. by police. He was taken into custody without incident, police said.

Dyson was charged with four counts of first-degree assault, four counts of second-degree assault, and four counts of reckless endangerment, according to court records.

Attorney information for Dyson was not available Wednesday afternoon.

On July 20, officers “found a large crowd and blood” when they responded to the report of an assault in the area of Dawson Avenue and Upton Street around 9:40 p.m., according to a news release.

The officers determined that a stabbing occurred and four adult victims suffering non-life-threatening stab wounds arrived at a local hospital shortly thereafter, according to the release.

Last week, Rockville police announced that detectives had identified the suspect in the stabbing and obtained an arrest warrant for Dyson.

Dyson is being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit in Rockville where he waits for a bond hearing in Montgomery County District Court in Rockville.
