Search on for suspect in unprovoked stabbing on BART train in San Francisco, police say
BART police are searching for a suspect they say stabbed a woman in an unprovoked attack on a train Saturday morning in San Francisco's Mission District.
Police said the suspect attacked a 54-year-old in an unprovoked stabbing around 8:10 a.m. aboard a train that was heading to Antioch as it approached the 24th Street/Mission Station.
A station agent helped the woman before BART police arrived at the station. She was then taken to the hospital with "serious injuries," police said.
The suspect was later identified as 34-year-old Jovany Portades, who was later arrested Sunday afternoon.
They're encouraging anyone with information to contact them.
The 24th Street/Mission Station was closed for about 45 minutes Saturday morning.
