DUNDALK, MD. — Baltimore County police say two men stabbed a Baltimore city police officer outside a strip club, and one has been arrested.

Baltimore County police had initially reported that the Baltimore officer, 42-year-old Eric Jansen, had been stabbed by one man outside the club on Thursday. But the continuing investigating showed Jansen was attacked by two men. He shot one.

Police say 23-year-old Lucas Baumeister has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and is being held without bail.

Jansen was released from the hospital on Thursday. The man he shot, whom police have not identified, remains at Shock Trauma.
