The person who owned the belongings then returned to the dressing room and confronted the suspect, who pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim during the confrontation. The victim then yelled for help, and family members went into the dressing room.

At that time, a second victim sustained a knife wound. Family members were able to disarm the suspect, and police took the suspect into custody when they arrived on the scene.
