Austin police looking for man who stabbed another man at transit center

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department (APD) is looking for a man they say stabbed another man at a transit center. The incident happened at the South Congress Transit Center on 205 W. Ben White Boulevard Service Road eastbound on February 1 at around 2:40 p.m.

The suspect is described as a heavy built man and was last seen wearing a white and blue long sleeve shirt, jeans, brown boots, a gray sweater, and what appears to be a black back brace.

Police say officers responded and found a victim who said that an unknown male, who the victim described as Hispanic, approached him and stabbed him, unprovoked, multiple times. The victim told officers he was able to fight off the suspect and run toward the park and ride parking lot east of the transit center.
