A suspect is in custody after stabbing three people at a MARTA station Tuesday morning, and Atlanta police believe he has other victims.
Officers were sent to a location between the Mercy Care clinic and the King Memorial MARTA station on Decatur Street just after 9 a.m., police spokesman Officer Steve Avery told AJC.com.
Investigators found a victim who had been stabbed outside the station, according to police. Two other victims were found on a MARTA train. Their conditions were not available.
Officers with the Atlanta and MARTA police departments worked to bring the suspect into custody, Avery said. His identity has not been released.
According to Avery, the suspect may be the same person who randomly attacked three people in southwest Atlanta Monday morning.
3 stabbed, 1 shot in separate incidents in SW Atlanta
Authorities responded to the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and found two men with stab wounds to the neck about 11:10 a.m. A third man was found with stab wounds at a location in the 2600 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
“The suspect in this case appeared to have randomly stabbed the three victims and the investigators are working to determine what led to the incident,” Avery said soon after the triple stabbing.
The three victims from that incident are expected to be OK.
Police did not specify what evidence led them to believe the suspect was involved in both attacks.
