A 24-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with what police called an "unprovoked" stabbing Tuesday morning on an Edmonton LRT platform. Mario Bigchild has also been charged with assaulting a peace officer, disarming a peace officer, escaping lawful custody, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of robbery, police said in a news release Wednesday. The 19-year-old man who was stabbed Tuesday on the South Campus LRT platform remains in stable condition in hospital, police said. An attack that shocked the city happened at about 7:40 a.m., when a young man was stabbed in the chest while waiting for a train. Outside in the parking lot, the suspect stole a woman's Cadillac and drove away.
