Authorities have identified a man charged with stabbing another man in a downtown MARTA station Thursday.
Michael Lee was arrested and charged with aggravated assault around 10 a.m. Friday, less than 24 hours after MARTA police shared photos of the suspect taken from surveillance cameras at the Garnett Transit Station. According to the arrest report, Lee is homeless and the man he stabbed, Clint Samuel, is homeless as well.
Lee was recognized by a MARTA police officer at the station, according to the arrest report, the same station where the stabbing took place early Thursday morning.
Samuel suffered multiple stab wounds and was seriously injured in the incident. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and has since been released, MARTA police spokeswoman Sgt. Deneya Littles said.
Littles said the reason for the altercation is unknown.
