The U.S. Marshals Service captured a fugitive wanted for stabbing his ex-girlfriend on New Year’s Day.

Marshals discovered David Marcellis Frye hiding in an apartment in Manassas about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, said Prince William County police spokeswoman Erika Hernandez.

Frye, 38, is accused of kicking down the door of the 33-year-old victim’s Manassas-area home and stabbing her in front of their 10-year-old son. The woman suffered critical injuries and remains hospitalized, police said.

Frye was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, burglary with intent to commit assault, making threatening phone calls and violating a protective order, Hernandez said. He is being held without bond pending an arraignment date.
