Fairfax County police have charged 25-year-old Daniel Jimenez Munoz with attacking an 18-year-old girl at knife point in the Fair Oaks area. But police say they do not believe Munoz was behind a Sept. 6 attack against another woman on the 12100 block of Penderview Terrace. Last week, following the Sept. 9 attack of the 18-year-old on the 12100 block of Polo Drive, police said they believed the same person was behind both and were worried he may become more violent. Munoz was taken into custody after a police officer recognized him from a composite sketch, police said.
