Authorities in Prince George's County are looking for a 19-year-old felon who is suspected of stabbing a man and kicking him in the head, and U.S. marshals are asking the public to help bring him to justice before he hurts someone else.

Dion Boyd has already been convicted for assaulting a federal officer with a vehicle, reckless driving and driving a stolen vehicle. Now he is wanted for attempted murder.

Matt Burke, supervisory inspector for the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, said Boyd did not have much of a criminal history before these recent attacks.

"But he is starting out strong with two extremely violent episodes. This is a concern to law enforcement, when someone starts a track record of displaying such bad judgment in such extreme ways," Burke said. "Boyd needs to be taken into custody."

On May 8, Boyd stabbed a man then kicked him in the head in Oxon Hill, according to the Prince George's Sheriff's Office. He was on federal probation for the 2009 assault on the police officer, and is also wanted by U.S. marshals for violating his probation.

Boyd is described as 5-feet-9 and 195 pounds. Marshals deputies said Boyd has family and friends in Southeast and Northeast Washington, Laurel and Oxon Hill.

Anyone with information regarding Boyd should call the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force at 301-489-1717.
