Transcript for Four Stabbed on Amtrak Train
Also breaking overnight. On an amtrak train, a man was stabbing people. And there was nowhere to run. The question this morning, were there signs that this suspect was ready to do something violent. Here's ABC's Michelle Franzen. Reporter: A terrifying scene on an amtrak train traveling from Chicago to Michigan Friday night. I heard somebody screaming and yelling. I saw him bring his fist back up, and I noticed there was something in his fist resembling a knife blade. People down with stab wounds. Reporter: Witnesses describing a knife-wielding man who began stabbing passengers in one of the train cars at the stop in Niles, Michigan, leaving behind a pool of blood. Police say four victims suffered injuries including the conductor and three passengers. There was an older -- not old -- older gentleman that was stabbed somewhere in the chest area. And he's the one that's in serious condition. Suspect in custody right now. Reporter: Officers apprehended suspect and when the train left Chicago passengers and conductors reported that the man was acting strangely. They radioed to amtrak in Chicago, I believe, who called our dispatch center to and if officers could stand by when the train arrived. When the officers got here, the assaults were taking place. Reporter: Investigators held the train for hours with passengers still on board. Amtrak said it helped arrange alternate transportation for all 172 passengers. And the passengers on board the train waited for hours with the Salvation Army coming out to provide food and water. Meanwhile, police did not release the name of the suspect or identify the victims as of now. And authorities are trying to find out the big question -- the answer to, why. Yes, the big question. And fear followed by tedium for the passengers. Michelle, thank you.
