President Donald Trump on Monday reacted to the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee that happened last month in Charlotte, North Carolina, saying that the U.S. must act against "evil people" for the good of the country.
Trump mentioned the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska on the city’s light rail train during remarks at the Museum of the Bible.
"We're all people of religion, but there are evil people," Trump said. "And we have to confront that. I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed this morning or last night in Charlotte by a madman."
The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, was arrested shortly after the stabbing and hospitalized before being arrested on a charge of first-degree murder.

"A lunatic just got up and started," Trump said of the suspect. "It's right on tape. Not really watchable because it's so horrible, but just viciously stabbed. She's just sitting there."

The surveillance footage, recently released by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), shows Zarutska boarding the Lynx Bline line just after 9:45 p.m. on Aug. 22. She is seen wearing a pizzeria uniform while scrolling on her phone. A man in a red hoodie is seen sitting behind her.
Around four minutes later, the footage shows the man pulling out a knife and stabbing Zarutska three times, including at least once in the neck. Authorities later pronounced her dead at the scene.

The video shows the suspect walking through the rail car, taking off his sweatshirt, and waiting by the doors as passengers look on.
"So they're evil people," Trump said. "We have to be able to handle that. If we don't handle that, we don't have a country."

Records obtained by Fox News Digital showed that Brown has a history of arrests going back more than a decade, including convictions for felony larceny and felony breaking and entering in 2013, and a 2015 conviction for robbery with a dangerous weapon that sent him to prison for more than six years. He was released in 2020 but remained on parole until 2021, and subsequent charges against him included communicating threats and misuse of the 911 system earlier this year.
Trump noted other recent killings in the U.S., saying that actions, like his administration’s push to end cashless bail, must be taken.
"This cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon and, in many cases, going out and killing again, cashless bail," Trump said.
