An elderly woman has been brutally murdered on an Atlanta train, an evil attack which will bring back heartbreaking memories of a similar killing last year.
As FOX 5 Atlanta reported, a woman was stabbed to death on a MARTA train near the Oakland City Station on Saturday shortly after 12 pm.
A suspect was promptly arrested following the murder, and normal rail operations were temporarily suspended.
FOX 5 notes that emergency medical workers desperately tried to save the female victim at the scene, but she succumbed to her injuries. MARTA police stated that several bystanders witnessed the brutal murder.
MARTA police released the following statement to FOX 5 Atlanta following the attack:
This appears to be a senseless act of violence, and our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones and those who witnessed this horrific incident.
We understand the concern and fear incidents like this can cause for those who ride and work on the MARTA system. MARTA Police are actively investigating and remain committed to the safety and security of our riders and employees.
Below is footage of the aftermath of the attack. The alleged perp, who is black, can be seen lying on the ground.
WATCH:
MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher announced on Sunday that 25-year-old John Elijah Matthews was in the Fulton County Jail as a suspect in the murder.
A chilling video later emerged showing the extremely bloody scene of the train following the attack.
The victim, who is lying on the ground, appears to be white. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office identified her as 66-year-old Margaret Swan of Atlanta.
This harrowing incident is strikingly similar to the brutal murder of a Ukrainian refugee last year.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered in August 2025 by a low-life thug in Charlotte, North Carolina, who had no business walking free to begin with.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department revealed Zarutska suffered multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the East/West Boulevard light rail station at 10 P.M. ET on August 22.
Police identified 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. as the person responsible for Zarutska’s death. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Footage of Brown apparently saying, “I got that White girl,” later emerged following the murder.
