Bus knife attack: Connecticut trooper shoots box cutter-wielding man who stabbed two bus passengers
- 9 years ago
A Connecticut State Trooper fatally shot a man who reportedly slashed two passengers on a casino-bound tour bus with a box cutter on Tuesday night.
The tour bus was headed from New York City to a Connecticut casino. The attack took place at around 10:00 p.m, when the bus was travelling along Interstate 95 in Norwalk, Connecticut.
After getting into an argument with two other passengers, the suspect stabbed the pair with a box cutter. Other people aboard called the police for help.
Before authorities arrived, the driver stopped the vehicle near a construction site and flagged down a state trooper who was monitoring traffic.
The suspect continued to brawl with one of the passengers. According to a police spokesman, the pair ‘rolled off the bus and onto the pavement of the highway’.
The state trooper demanded the suspect drop the weapon, but was ignored. The man next reportedly aggressively advanced toward the officer with the weapon.
The state trooper fired multiple shots at the suspect, who later died at a hospital.
The shooting also left the passenger with whom the suspect was fighting injured. State police say they have yet to ascertain whether the second bullet hit the passenger directly or ricocheted.
