A man with convictions dating back to 2002 is facing new charges after allegedly stabbing a Seattle light rail passenger last month. The victim, identified as Tin Vi Pham, 51, was sitting toward the back of the train when Ishmail Brown, 41, allegedly began stabbing him without provocation. Pham was “essentially trapped” in his seat as Brown “plunged the knife down from above, over and over again,” wrote King County Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Brynn Jacobson in a court filing.
