"We do know that the suspect and this boy got into some sort of an altercation which ultimately led to the boy being stabbed with some type of object," Peach said. "The object was not recovered, so we can't exactly say what it was for sure, but he did suffer some type of a stab wound."
Baltimore County Police have been collecting surveillance footage and have been able to determine the assailant was an adult male.
While the boy was admitted in critical condition on Friday night, police say his condition "appears to be improving."
