TEMPE, AZ — Police say one person was stabbed on a light rail train in Tempe, and the suspect has been arrested.

The incident occurred around 9:40 p.m. near the Smith-Martin/Apache Blvd. light rail stop, just west of the Loop 101 along Apache Boulevard.

According to Tempe police, the victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

The suspect, 34-year-old Allante Wallace, left the area before officers arrived but was later located, police said Saturday morning.

Police say he is facing aggravated assault charges.

According to a preliminary investigation, two women were involved in an argument, which led to the victim being stabbed multiple times.

The investigation is ongoing, and no additional details have been released. Officials say this appears to have been an isolated incident.
