Newly released audio of a 911 call from a December stabbing on a Charlotte subway captured the efforts of passengers as they struggled to help the victim, who was allegedly attacked by an illegal immigrant who had been deported twice.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department released four 911 calls related to the stabbing of Kenyon Kareem-Shemar Dobie, 24, who was attacked just before 5 p.m. on a Blue Line train north of Charlotte, North Carolina on Dec. 5, just three months after the stabbing of Ukrainian fugitive Iryna Zarutska in training.
One 911 call captures a male bystander jumping in to help Dobie after the stabbing attack.
“We need police and doctors. Someone has been stabbed on the train!” the caller could be heard telling the dispatcher as Dobie tried to control himself. “No, no, please talk to me. You will be here for your children, won’t you?”

In a statement sent by Fox News Digital, FBI Director Kash Patel condemned the suspect’s illegal return to the US.
“A person who was deported twice, convicted of violent crimes, and re-entered our country illegally had no business riding public transit in Charlotte, or anywhere near American citizens,” Patel said. “What happened on that small rail line is exactly what happens when our borders are treated as suggestions instead of laws.”
This stabbing attack happened months after Zarutska, who is 23 years old Ukrainian refugee, He was stabbed to death on the Blue Line while leaving work.
