Haunting footage has been released of the terrifying moment a homeless ex-con allegedly fatally stabbed a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on a light rail train.
Iryna Zarutska, who fled war-torn Ukraine for a safer life in America, was on the Lynx Blue Line just before 10pm. Aug. 22, when she was ambushed, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The surveillance footage, released Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System or CATS, shows Zarutska boarding the train in her pizzeria uniform at 9:46pm and sitting, looking at her phone, unaware of the danger behind her, The New York Post reports.
Just four minutes later, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly whips out a folding knife and lunges forward, stabbing her three times, at least once in the neck, police said.
The chilling video then appears to show Brown walking through the railcar, stripping off his sweatshirt, and waiting by the doors, as passengers began to notice blood dripping from him.
Zarutska, who grabbed her neck as blood spilt onto the train floor, collapsed in her seat and was pronounced dead on the light rail, investigators said.
