Security video captures stabbing attack on Phoenix light rail

Silent Witness is looking for a man accused of stabbing someone several times while on the light rail near 24th Street and Jefferson on March 25.

PHOENIX - Police are still looking for a man accused of stabbing someone several times while on the light rail in Phoenix last month.

The alleged crime happened on March 25 at around 11 p.m. as the eastbound train was approaching the 24th Street and Jefferson stop.

The suspect was having some kind of argument with the victim when it turned violent. Security cameras recorded the man brandishing a knife, swinging it at another man multiple times and stabbing him.

The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, but police say he is currently in good condition.

The attacker and his friend that was also on the train ran away once the light rail reached its stop, and neither have been caught.

The two were originally seen getting on the light rail near 19th Avenue and Camelback.

Phoenix police are searching for a stabbing suspect and another man who appears to be his friend.
