Davidson County, NC – Two people were injured in a reported stabbing Friday evening in Lexington, prompting a rapid response from deputies and emergency crews.
According to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, patrol deputies were called to a residence in the 2700 block of Arnold Road at approximately 5:32 p.m. Friday, January 2, 2026, after reports of a stabbing. When deputies arrived, they found two victims suffering from stab wounds.
Davidson County Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported both victims to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities said both individuals were reported to be in stable condition as of Friday night.
Investigators identified the suspect as Phillip Anthony Hill, 26, who was located and apprehended without incident. Detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division determined that Hill allegedly stabbed two family members before fleeing the residence, according to officials.
Hill was arrested and charged with two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, deputies said. He was taken to the Davidson County Detention Center and appeared before a magistrate.
Authorities noted that because Hill was already on pretrial release for existing criminal charges, no bond was set during his initial court appearance. Hill is scheduled to appear in Davidson District Court in Lexington on Monday, January 5, 2026.
The sheriff’s office emphasized that bond decisions are made by judicial officials under North Carolina General Statute 15A-532 and are not determined by law enforcement. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
The investigation remains ongoing.
