FREDERICK, Md. – The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office has apprehended a Walkersville man in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred Wednesday evening at Loy’s Station Park. The Sheriff’s Office reported that on July 15, 2026, deputies responded to the park, located at 13506 Old Frederick Road in Rocky Ridge, after receiving a report of a stabbing.
Upon arrival at the scene, deputies discovered an adult male sustaining serious injuries that appeared to be consistent with an assault. The injured individual was subsequently transported to Meritus Medical Center for medical treatment. The preliminary investigation into the event suggests that the victim and the alleged assailant were both driving separate vehicles and pulled into a parking area near the park. It was after they exited their vehicles that an altercation ensued between the two individuals. During the course of this confrontation, the suspect is accused of using a machete to inflict injuries to the victim’s head and arm.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Detectives with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office were able to identify the suspect as Michael Anthony Faya, a 36-year-old resident of Walkersville. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, charging Faya with First-Degree Assault. On July 16, 2026, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at a residence located in the 10700 block of Dublin Road. Faya was located at this residence and taken into custody without incident. He was then transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center, where he formally faced the charge of First-Degree Assault. The victim in this incident has since been treated for their injuries and released from the hospital.
