Man arrested in connection with serial stabbings in three statesPolice arrested a man suspected of committing at least 20 stabbings, several of them fatal, on black men in Michigan and northern Virginia.

The man was arrested Wednesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where he was trying to board a Delta flight to Tel Aviv, Israel.

Police say the man is an Israeli citizen who is in the country legally. He has ties to the Flint, Mich., area, where many of the stabbings occurred.

"While this is a key step in the investigation, there are still many issues that need to be addressed before we identify this individual as the person responsible for this horrific crime spree," said Leesburg police officer Chris Jones.

The suspect is believed to have stabbed five people to death and wounded 10 others in Michigan - all but two are black. In Virginia, two black men and a dark-complexioned Latino teen are also believed to be the serial killer's latest victims.






The suspect would reportedly approach black men in deserted urban areas and ask for help with fixing his broken down vehicle. Then he would stab the men before speeding off.

It took police a few weeks before they began to see the connection in the attacks. The serial killer attacked an average of every four days since the first stabbing in May. The serial killer is also suspected of an attack in Toledo, Ohio.
