According to investigators, uniformed officers responded to reports of a stabbing. The preliminary information has revealed that the subject and victim were in the 4th floor level of the terminal in the pre-security area. Without provocation, the subject attacked the victim by stabbing her multiple times and attempted to throw her over the railing.  The victim was able to escape the attack and ran down the stairs to the 3rd floor level, which is where the officers found her.  Additional responding officers took the subject into custody in the area where the stabbing originated and recovered the knife. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and transported the victim to JMH Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.

In the midst of the chaos, officers received reports of a possible active shooter. Using all available resources, the units were able to determine there was no active shooter and only the stabbing had taken place. Airport operations were briefly disrupted but have since resumed to normal operations.

Detectives are in the process of speaking with the subject, and the investigation continues.
