He Asked Group at Bus Stop if ‘They Were Muslims.’ After Two Answered, He Tried to Kill Them: Police

A man approached a group of people at a bus stop just outside of Detroit on Saturday and asked them “if they were Muslims,” according to police. When two people answered that they were not, the man allegedly pulled out a 3-inch folding knife and started viciously stabbing one of them.

One of the victims suffered five stab wounds during the assault while the other person was stabbed in the hand while he tried to stop the suspect. Both victims, reportedly in their 50s, were transported to a hospital and later released after treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

Police arrested 39-year-old Terrence Lavaron Thomas “within minutes” after the attack, the Washington Post reports.
