A suspect has been charged in the stabbing of a man in west Birmingham.
Nakia Wayne Douglas, 25, of Birmingham, is charged with attempted murder, police announced Thursday night.
At about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, West Precinct officers were dispatched to the 1000 Block of Circle Street in the Dolomite on a report of a person stabbed.
When officers arrived, they were informed that the victim had been transported to the Hueytown Fire Department by private vehicle, said Officer De’Rell Freeman.
