They took him into custody without additional incident.The female pedestrian who was struck by the vehicle is expected to recover. The woman who was stabbed multiple times is expected to survive, though witnesses say she was bleeding extensively.The incident was terrifying for those who encountered the suspect."I know how scared I was," Meyer said.
