Montgomery County police have released a surveillance photo of two suspects involved in a stabbing that occurred May 8 in the 900 block of Bonifant Street.
Detectives from the 3rd District Investigation Section are asking the public for help in identifying the two men, according to a press release.
Police described one suspect as an African American male who was wearing a black jacket over a grey shirt. They described the second as an African American male who was wearing a red shirt. Both can be seen in the photo, one on the left and one on the right.
