Man turns tables on knife-wielding suspect at Atlanta's airport, police say

Knife wielding suspect charged

Police say an airport worker had to fend off a suspect wielding a knife in an employee park and ride lot.

ATLANTA - Wednesday morning, police said officers were called out to an airport knife fight, but they say there was just one aggressor.

It happened at one of the "park and ride" lots at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A contract worker had just pulled into a spot and headed off to take an airport shuttle.

Police say he noticed someone lurking by his vehicle and walked back to find the man had gotten inside.

"The suspect brought out a knife and there was a tussle," said airport police commander Reginald Moorman. "Our victim was stabbed on the face and the arm, multiple locations."
