A 54-year-old Harford County woman died early Saturday morning after being stabbed in the chest, according to Baltimore police.

Police say Jacquelyn Smith and her family were driving through the 1000 block of Valley St. in the Johnston Square neighborhood at 12:27 a.m. when they saw a young woman carrying what appeared to be a baby and holding a cardboard sign that said “Please Help me feed my Baby.” Smith, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rolled down the window to give her money.

A man then approached the car to thank the family — before he reached into the car and tried to grab the woman’s wallet. After a struggle, police said, the man took out a knife and stabbed Smith.

The man and the woman who carried the sign fled. Smith, of the 4900 block of Villa Point Drive in Aberdeen, was taken to an area hospital, where she died.
