Teen Arrested for Random Knife Attack in St. Pete

0:00It's April 23rd, from your city to your ears. This is Tampa Bay News. Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. An 18-year-old guy in St. Petersburg, Florida, got arrested after pulling a table knife on two women walking downtown. This went down Wednesday evening near an open-air post office, and cops say he just came out of nowhere with the attack. One of the women took a hit to the head, but her injuries aren't life-threatening, and the other one walked away without a scratch. Scott there quick, thanks to some sharp bystanders, who held the suspect down until backup rode up. Folks in the area stepped up big time, calling it in and keeping him from bolting, which probably stopped things from getting worse. The victims have no connection to this dude, Rodrigo Romero. It's looking like a total random act. He's now facing heavy charges, like attempted murder and aggravated assault, and authorities are piecing together exactly what sparked this mess. They alert out there in the streets, especially downtown quick thinking, from everyday people made all the difference here.
