"According to individuals on the bus, the individual with the meat cleaver started chanting -- saying some things, possibly had some mental health issues," said Chief Inspector Scott Small with the Philadelphia Police Department. Police say a 45-year-old man attacked another 45-year-old man with the cleaver in the back of the bus, causing wounds to the victim's head and hand. The attacker also had a small cut to his hand, however, police said they aren't sure how that happened.
"We're really fortunate because the victim was struck in the head with a meat cleaver, which could actually be deadly, but luckily, that 45-year-old victim is in stable condition with a cut to his head and hands," Small said.There were eight people on the bus at the time, so police said they have multiple witness accounts. Police also said they should have interior surveillance video from inside the bus.
