When the girl stood up and moved towards the rear of the car as the train approached the Fort Totten Station, Klaiber grabbed her from behind, pulled out a folding knife with a 3.5 inch blade and stabbed her in the back. One of the girl's friends then sprayed Klaiber with pepper spray, but that didn't stop him. The three teens ran. Klaiber gave chase, shouting:



I'm going to [stab you] again!

The girl was transported to local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

Police have charged Klaiber with assault with a deadly weapon, enhanced as a hate crime.
