Arrest Made in Stabbing of Train-Attack Hero Spencer Stone
NBC ^ | Nov 4, 2015 | PHIL HELSEL and ANDREW BLANKSTEIN

Police in Sacramento, California, have arrested a man in connection with the stabbing of a U.S. airman who was hailed as a hero for helping to thwart an attack on a Paris-bound train in August.

James Tran, 28, was arrested Wednesday and charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing Spencer Stone, 23, during a fight downtown early Oct. 8, police said.

The fight broke out after member of Tran's group used a cell phone to take video of women in Stone's group, a police official told NBC News.

Somers said it does not appear Tran or anyone in his group knew of Stone's public stature. Tran was identified after tips came in following news reports about the stabbing, and detectives initiated a traffic stop near his Elk Grove home shortly after 7 a.m. and arrested him without incident, Somers said.

If he is the fellow who stabbed him, I have a solution.

Ahh....lighten up Francis! The perp is not Chinese, he’s ethnically Vietnamese and was almost certainly turned in by his own community because they are ashamed of him and most certainly consider his crime despicable.
