A Sikh truck driver reportedly survived a stabbing attack at a rest stop off a Wyoming highway on Sunday, according to news reports. The driver, identified only by his last name Singh, was reportedly beaten and stabbed 17 times.
Andrew Kris Bzdak, the suspected assailant, reportedly fled the scene before being arrested by Wyoming highway patrol troopers. He has been charged with attempted first-degree murder.
As of Friday, Mr Bzdak was being held at the Sweetwater county detention center on a $1m bail, according to an inmate roster. The motive for the attack remains unknown, according to Jeff Sheaman, a public information officer for the Sweetwater county sheriff’s office.
