Philadelphia Police have released surveillance video from Friday's stabbing attack on a SEPTA bus. It happened around 2 p.m. on the Route 66 bus on the 4100 block of Torresdale Avenue in the city's Frankford section. The suspect got on the bus but did not have the proper transfer. The driver told him he had to get off at the next stop. At the next stop the suspect refused to get off the bus, and another passenger got into an argument with the man. It turned physical when the passenger pushed the suspect off the bus. The suspect responded by pulling a knife and stabbing the passenger in the head and body. He then fled. The victim was taken to Temple University Hospital and treated for multiple lacerations. He is listed in stable but critical condition. The suspect is described as a black male, 5'7", 30 years-of-age, dark complected, wearing a dark colored jacket, and a dark colored hat with fur. If you see this suspect do not approach, contact 911 immediately. To submit a tip via telephone, dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847. All tips will be confidential.
