The suspect, who is in custody, was new to the mission having arrived on Saturday night, and was about to check into the 150-person ministry for a second night when a fight broke out.

“Something … set him off, and he evidently had a knife in his bag,” Union Gospel Mission’s Executive Director Craig Smith told NBC News.

“The whole incident is on video,” he said, adding that all footage of the attack was being shared with police.
