Frantic 911 calls made in the aftermath of the fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska have been released by police.
The 23-year-old, who was living in Charlotte, North Carolina, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was travelling on the city’s light rail train when she was stabbed three times in an unprovoked attack in August.
In one of six 911 calls released by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, obtained by TMZ, a panicked witness can be heard saying, “This man just f—ing stabbed this woman for no reason. Oh, my God, he just f—ing stabbed her.”
Another caller struggled to relay to first responders their location.
“This lady just got stabbed… I’m not sure where we are… There’s a tall building… There’s a lady on the ground. She’s bleeding a lot.”
The woman continued: “Everyone is screaming. People are freaking out. She’s on the ground, there are people around her right now,” adding that others were trying to put pressure on the victim’s wounds.
She told dispatchers that the victim “looks young,” adding, “I don’t think she’s responsive right now.”
She continued: “There’s a lot of blood. She was stabbed in the carotid (artery) I believe.”
The caller detailed: “There’s a lot of people around her, they’re all saying that she’s gone I think she’s gone.”
Thanks to President Trump and an outraged public, media and the woke left won’t be able to cover up the “evil” slaying of Iryna Zarutska.

She then relayed to dispatchers that those trying to save Zarutska said her “pupils are blown out” and “there’s no pulse.”
Another caller described that the suspect was a “Black male, dreadlocks, his hair wrapped up, a black T-shirt and blue jeans. His hand is wrapped up.”
They added: “He’s walking back and forth on the platform. He’s on the opposite platform.”
Security footage from the train shows a man in a red hoodie sitting in the seat behind Zarutska, before he pulls out a pocket knife, and then repeatedly stabs her.
She collapses as he walks away.
Zarutska was pronounced dead at the scene, according to an affidavit.
DeCarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested on the train platform several minutes after the fatal attack, and taken to a hospital so he could be mentally evaluated.
He has been charged with first-degree murder, and also faces a federal charge of causing death on a mass transportation system.
He could face life in prison if convicted of both crimes, while the federal charge makes him eligible for the death penalty — which President Donald Trump has called for.
Brown, who has a record of mental illness, had previously been arrested 14 times, with convictions for theft, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats.
The attack Zarutska sparked heated debate about Brown’s criminal record and mental health, and how and why he was released from prison.
“This monster should have been locked up, and Iryna should still be alive,” White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters last month.
“But Democrat politicians, liberal judges and weak prosecutors would rather virtue signal than lock up criminals and protect their communities.”
