A Glen Burnie man was indicted on attempted murder charges Monday after police say he pursued and stabbed a driver in Baltimore over an argument.

Darrius Bain, 34, faces attempted first- and second-degree murder, as well as first- and second-degree assault charges after a grand jury in Baltimore elevated his case to the city’s circuit court system.

According to charging documents, on Aug. 30, Bain argued with another motorist before following him “at a high rate of speed” and attacking him in the city’s Federal Hill neighborhood.

Baltimore Police officers responded to the 1000 block of Light Street shortly before 11:30 p.m., according to charging documents, where they found a white Ford Focus double parked and “covered in blood.”

By the time authorities arrived, paramedics were tending to the injured driver, treating wounds to both of his arms, one leg and his chest, police said. The man was “immediately” taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, a University of Maryland facility approximately 1 mile away, police said, and the vehicle was towed to a crime lab for processing.

Detectives reviewed nearby surveillance footage and said they could see a man get out of a Jeep at the corner of Light and East Wheeling streets, walk up to the white Focus in front of him and assault the driver. The man then returned to the Jeep and drove off, turning left on Light Street while the victim turned right, stopping where authorities later found him. Investigators were able to track the Jeep using cameras along its escape route, police said. The footage helped them identify a license plate number and three days after the stabbing, Maryland Transportation Authority Police officers pulled over the vehicle in East Baltimore.

A search and seizure warrant for the towed Jeep was authorized Oct. 7, according to court documents. Police said they recovered a silver knife from the center console and a loaded handgun from the glove box.

Following an inquiry, Maryland State Police informed investigators that Bain was prohibited from owning a firearm due to an assault conviction in 2009 and an armed robbery conviction in 2018. In 2020, Bain also pleaded guilty to illegal firearm possession in Anne Arundel County, court records show.

On Oct. 15, detectives interviewed the person who was driving the Jeep the day it had been pulled over. She told authorities the vehicle was hers, but that Bain had been driving the night of the stabbing. She said before the altercation, Bain stopped to use the bathroom. When he got out, however, she said Bain got into an argument with someone in a white car, detectives wrote.

Though she was in the Jeep while Bain pursued the other driver, the woman said she “did not think much of the incident” until she learned it was a stabbing, according to charging documents. She said she thought Bain had punched the other driver.

The woman said she told Bain detectives wanted to speak with him but, according to charging documents, , Bain acknowledged there had been a stabbing and said he wouldn’t speak to police.

Bain was arrested Oct. 26, a week and a half after a warrant was issued and is being held without bail at an intake facility in downtown Baltimore, according to the Maryland Judiciary and Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.

Bain faces three felonies and two misdemeanors, including reckless endangerment, according to the Maryland Judiciary.

A lawyer has not yet been assigned to represent Bain, court records show, though he has been represented by public defenders in the past.

As of Tuesday, Bain’s next court date has not been scheduled, according to the Maryland Judiciary.
