Two in three Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>, residents say they feel less safe today than they did a year ago, according to a recent survey, as the city reels from two violent train stabbings.<\/p>\n

More than 930 people responded to a survey that the Queen City recently completed before hiring its new police chief, Stella Patterson. Residents overwhelmingly said they want a proactive police force, not a reactive one, with 66% saying they feel less safe.<\/p>\n

The results come as Charlotte contends with another stabbing on its light rail<\/a> system, months after the stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) officers responded to a call regarding assault with a deadly weapon.\u00a0When they arrived, they found the victim, identified as Kenyon Kareem-Shemar Dobie, with a stab wound, according to warrants.<\/p>\n

Oscar Solarzano, 33, of Honduras, was arrested<\/u><\/a> after the stabbing and charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with serious injury, breaking\/entering a motor vehicle, carrying a concealed weapon and intoxicated\/disruptive behavior, according to multiple Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources and arrest warrants obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

CMPD noted<\/u><\/a> Dobie was in critical but stable condition when he was taken to a hospital.<\/p>\n

The victim told WRAL News<\/a> that he saw Solarzano yelling at an older woman before Solarzano handed his bike to another passenger and said: “I’m about to show you who I really am.”<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t trying to be a macho man,” Dobie said in a TikTok post from his hospital room. “But what I won’t allow is you to attack random people for no reason, especially the elderly.”<\/p>\n

Dobie said he jumped up and told Solarzano to leave everyone alone. He said Solarzano then grabbed his hands and stabbed him as he tried to grab him back.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, Solarzano appeared in court, where he was denied bond.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, reviewed by Fox News Digital, Solarzano broke into a railroad car “with the intent to commit a felony,” while carrying a large fixed-blade knife.<\/p>\n

While intoxicated, he challenged Dobie to a fight, cursing and shouting at others using “unintelligible and slurred words,” according to court documents.<\/p>\n

He was booted from the country by the Trump administration in March 2018 on a deportation order<\/a> and reentered illegally during the Biden administration at the Texas border in March 2021, DHS sources said.<\/p>\n

Solarzano was deported a second time by the Biden administration and reentered illegally as a got-away at an unknown time and location.<\/p>\n

Solarzano has a prior conviction for robbery in the U.S. and prior arrests for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest and false ID, DHS sources said.<\/p>\n

Court records indicate he had known aliases, including Solarzano-Garcia, Oscar Herardo and Kevin Garcia.<\/p>\n

The stabbing attack comes months after Zarutska, 23, was fatally stabbed on a LYNX Blue Line light rail while on her way home from work from a local pizzeria shop.<\/p>\n

Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, who is accused of killing Zarutska, was charged with violence against a railroad carrier<\/a> and mass transportation system resulting in death, a capital offense under federal law.<\/p>\n

Brown had a history of violent crime<\/u><\/a>, including assaults and robberies, and had also been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Yet he was still free and walking the streets.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the city of Charlotte and the CMPD for comment.<\/p>\n
