The chilling audio, obtained by authorities and aired by Fox News correspondent Christina Coleman on Jesse Watters Primetime, captures bystanders urgently calling dispatchers as Zarutska fought for her life. Callers described the bloody scene and begged for emergency responders to arrive quickly.
Zarutska, who fled the war in Ukraine in hopes of finding safety in the United States, was brutally attacked in what officials described as a random and unprovoked stabbing. The incident shocked the Charlotte community and drew national attention, not only because of the brutality but also because of Zarutska’s background as a refugee seeking a new life free of violence.
The release of the graphic 911 calls underscores the terror passengers experienced in those moments and highlights ongoing concerns about safety on public transportation systems.
