A Bristow, Virginia, man has been charged with attempted murder after police say he stabbed a woman at the Leesburg Premium Outlets on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Leesburg police, Corinthian Witcher, 34, stabbed a 27-year-old woman, who is expected to survive, near suite 1173 at the outlets around 4:30 p.m.
Witnesses said Witcher fled on foot, while still armed with a knife, toward the Sycamore Hill subdivision behind the Outlets.
