Overview
- APD asked the public for help identifying a suspect and offered up to $1,000 for tips through Crime Stoppers, which allows anonymous submissions.
- The stabbing happened on Feb. 19 at a Capital Metro bus stop in the 300 block of Lavaca Street and left the victim with severe bleeding.
- Officers and Austin-Travis County medics gave lifesaving care at the scene before taking the victim to a local hospital.
- Detectives obtained surveillance video that shows the suspect boarding a CapMetro bus and exiting where the assault occurred.
- Police tied the case to a series of bus stabbings this year that led to arrests in separate January incidents and a March detention after two people were hurt during SXSW.
