SAN FRANCISCO -- BART police have arrested a suspect wanted in connection with a stabbing that occurred Saturday morning aboard an Antioch-bound train as it approached 24th Street/Mission Station, the transit agency said Sunday afternoon.

The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was spotted by a station agent at Fruitvale Station Sunday around 2 p.m., BART officials said in a press release. The station agent contacted BART police who arrested the suspect without incident, according to BART.

The agency had announced Sunday morning that BART police investigators had identified a suspect in connection with the stabbing. Transit officials said that one of BART's more than 4,000 surveillance cameras allegedly caught an initial image of the suspect, which helped investigators to identify him.
