The original report:

On September 30 at 4:49 a.m., in Federal Way, two subjects boarded the 174 Metro bus at the Federal Way Transit Center.

Shortly after boarding the bus these two subjects became involved in a physical altercation. The altercation and images of the suspect were captured by the on-board cameras installed by King County Metro Transit. The cameras are installed to protect the passengers and driver of the metro buses and to deter criminal activity.

The Metro Bus driver attempted to stop the fight and then summoned assistance.

The two subjects stopped fighting and exited the bus. Shortly after the subjects exited the bus the male suspect, shown in the attached photos, attacked and stabbed the other person he had been fighting with.

The suspect was able to flee the area prior to Federal Way Police officers arriving. The victim was transported to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries and is expected to recover.

The Federal Way Police are asking for help in identifying the male suspect depicted in these photographs.
