Brooklyn Park police on Friday arrested a fugitive wanted for allegedly stabbing a woman.

The fugitive, identified by police as 21-year-old Junior Lawrence, had been on the run since Wednesday.

Police found the bright blue 2019 Toyota C-HR registered to Lawrence in the north metro suburb earlier Friday, but inspector Shane DuPaul declined to say specifically where the vehicle was located.

Lawrence is wanted for allegedly stabbing a woman multiple times in the head and face on Wednesday in the 7500 block of Kentucky Avenue N. He took off before officers arrived. The victim had a past relationship with the suspect, DuPaul said.
