Charlotte (US), Sept. 7 -- Seeking refuge from the war at home, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was killed in a knife attack while travelling on a Charlotte light rail train, according to the New York Post.

Zarutska, who had been working at a local pizzeria, was still dressed in her uniform when she stepped onto the Lynx Blue Line at 9:46 pm on August 22.

Brown left the train at the next station, where police later recovered a folding knife. He was treated for a hand injury before being booked on a charge of first-degree murder.

Court records show Brown's offences date back to 2011, including robbery with a dangerous weapon and making threats.

Despite transit security guards being present in another carriage, the assault went unchecked.
