Two of the witnesses were nurses and an EMT who were all able to prove first aid while another bystander called 911. However, police say Fairbank left the area and drove to a local gas station before abandoning his vehicle.
He then went to a nearby neighborhood where he approached and stabbed a 64-year-old woman. The woman was able to fight back as bystanders helped her until first responders arrived.
