Jamar R. Berry, 32, was marched into the Youngstown Police Department by marshals Friday morning covering his head with a hood. He had been hiding from police for two days following a stabbing on Craiger Avenue Wednesday.

Berry is charged with two counts of attempted murder, accused of slitting the throat of a Craiger Avenue woman and stabbing her 16-year-old daughter earlier this week.

The mother is still in intensive care with cuts to the neck. The daughter has been released from the hospital and is recovering.
