CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- The Charlotte Area Transit System, CATS, has released video of the deadly stabbing two weeks ago on the light rail.

The video shows the suspect, DeCarlos Brown, already on the light rail when the victim, Iryna Zarutska, gets on and sits in front of him on Friday, Aug. 22, right around 10 p.m.

Brown sits for about four and a half minutes and appears to fidget in his seat, but does not look at or acknowledge Zarutska. Suddenly, he pulls out a knife and stabs her multiple times before walking off.

He then moves to another part of the light rail car, changes clothes and runs off the train with his hand wrapped in his sweatshirt at the next stop.

Since the stabbing, city leaders have called for extra security on the light rail.
