Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police are seeking assistance from the public to identify a man suspected of a stabbing incident that occurred on one of their trains. According to BART's official report, the suspect in question is believed to be an Asian male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighing 160 pounds. He was last seen with black braided hair done up in a knot, sporting a mustache, and clad in a black jacket with an orange liner, complemented by a black shirt marked with a broad white logo.
The altercation occurred yesterday morning on a train bound for Antioch, near the 24th St./Mission Station. The victim, a 54-year-old woman, was reportedly stabbed in an unprovoked assault at around 8:10 a.m. Following the incident, BART authorities swiftly responded by shutting down the 24th St./Mission station to assemble evidence, temporarily inconveniencing commuters from 8:40 to 9:25 a.m. The anonymous tip line provided by BART Police Investigations is a beacon for those who might hold information at (510) 464-7011.
The unidentified suspect was also seen with grey and black cargo-style pants, brown and black boots, and carrying a black duffle bag. The injured woman was transported to the local hospital with serious injuries.
