Woman in critical condition after stabbing at Miami airport, police say

A woman was stabbed inside a terminal at Miami International Airport Saturday night, sending her to the hospital in critical condition and causing a service disruption, police and airport officials said.

An adult male suspect was arrested at the scene, the Miami-Dade Police Department said.

The woman was attacked around 11:30 p.m. on the upper level of Terminal J, in the international arrivals hall, police said. The “situation was quickly brought under control,” airport officials said.

“We want to assure the public that the situation is under control and the safety of our passengers, staff and visitors remains our top priority,” the Miami-Dade Aviation Department said.

Nearby passengers had to be redirected to other checkpoints or terminals, disrupting traffic at the airport for about two hours, authorities said.
