The 17-year-old was having a meal on the floor when she was attacked with a butcher knife Sunday. Officials say they aren't yet ruling out hate crime charges.

A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.

Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release. The victim was eating a meal while sitting on the floor when, officials say, Love attacked her without provocation, stabbing her about 18 times in her face, head, arms, shoulders, neck and legs before he tried to throw her over a safety retaining glass, officials said.

When I was younger a man joined our church and decided to teach Sunday school. He one day attacked a girl just after his class finished and did it as a church service was going on and fled carrying the knife through the congregation up the aisle out the front door. This made me remember this for some reason.

That sounds like a horrifying memory and I'm sorry you have to live with that.

Plot twist: OP is the assailant.

Edit: apparently /s was required.

No, we understood the comment, we just thought it wasn't funny and in poor taste. Adding "/s" doesn't automatically make something funny.

Fair enough. I thought I was being misunderstood as serious, but it seems I was just off the mark for some people.

Why are you speaking like there is a mouse in your pocket lol. Just sounds weird to read🍻
