CNN Shows Video of Stabbing of a Ukrainian Immigrant Inside a Train

‘While that attack happened last month, the Charlotte area transit system released the surveillance video this past week reigniting concerns about violent crime’

EXCERPT:

CARROLL: “The images captured on surveillance video begin routinely enough as Iryna Zarutska boards the blue line train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22nd, just before 10:00 P.M. She takes her seat. We stopped the video here because of what happens next. Unprovoked, the man who was sitting behind her, identified as Decarlos Brown Jr., fatally stabbed Zarutska. According to police, the train travels for approximately four and a half minutes before the suspect pulls a knife from his pocket, unfolds the knife, pauses, then stands up and strikes at the victim three times. Zarutska was 23 years old. Her family described her as a gifted and passionate artist. According to her obituary, she emigrated from Ukraine with her mother, sister and brother to escape the war, and she quickly embraced her new life in the United States. While that attack happened last month, the Charlotte area transit system released the surveillance video this past week, reigniting concerns about violent crime.”
