Police in Maryland are searching for a suspect who stabbed three men in a McDonald’s early this morning.
The three individuals were getting breakfast in Silver Spring at around 6.45am when a knife attack occurred – leaving all three with non-life-threatening injuries.
When police arrived they found two men stabbed and shortly after a third man entered the restaurant, also wounded, WUSA-TV reported.
Montgomery County Police said no employees were injured and that the man with the knife left the restaurant prior to their arrival so they are still searching for a suspect.

The police were called at around 6.45am on Tuesday evening
It is currently unclear if the attack was targeted.
The stabbing was reported around 6.45am from a McDonald’s in the 8400 block of Colesville Road in downtown Silver Spring. The names of the three victims have not been released.
Initially only two men were identified but then a third person, who had left, returned ‘to notify police he had also sustained an injury.’
‘There were three victims, all with non-life-threatening injuries, transported to local area hospitals,’ said Mary DiGilio of Montgomery Police during a small press conference outside the restaurant.
‘We don’t know the motive at this time, she said. ‘Its a stranger, we don’t know the motive.’

DiGilio was unable to say where the men were stabbed.
More than two hours later the Montgomery County Department of Police put out a brief statement about the incident on Twitter.
‘MCPD is investigating a stabbing in the 8400 block of Colesville Road. Officers have secured the area and are looking for the suspect,’ it said. No description of the suspect was provided.
Last September a man with an axe was recorded going berserk inside a McDonald’s in New York City.
The incident took place at Delancey Street McDonald’s on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and involved an argument between a man and a group of people who were eating at the restaurant.
During a dispute Michael Palacios, 31, pulled out an axe and started destroying panes of glass and furniture in the restaurant.
After the rampage, Palacios fled the scene on his bike but was picked up a short time later by police on nearby Ludlow Street.
