The video shows how Zarutska accesses the interior of the train and sits down right in front of Brown, who is making somewhat suspicious movements. Moments later, the attacker pulls out a small knife from one of his jacket pockets, stands up quickly and stabs the victim.

Subsequently, the recording shows how Brown walks calmly through the carriage, leaving a trail of blood, before the eyes of a passenger.

As soon as the crime, which occurred in late August, the authorities went to the scene and could do nothing to save the life of Zarutska, who was pronounced dead in the subway station.

Brown was arrested shortly afterward as the prime suspect and was transported to a hospital to receive care for minor injuries he sustained, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) reported. He is in police custody awaiting trial.

Zarutska had fled his country due to the war between Ukraine and Russia.
