Welcome to Arrest Stories. A twenty-nine-year-old man faces aggravated battery charges after allegedly stabbing a fellow passenger six times during what authorities describe as an unprovoked attack aboard a Greyhound bus traveling through New Mexico. Here's what may have happened.
According to official narratives, Ryan Kenny launched a vicious assault on September twenty-ninth while passengers rode a Greyhound bus from Alamogordo, New Mexico toward Tucson. The attack unfolded between Lordsburg and Deming as the bus made its way across the desert landscape.
The victim described the terrifying moments when the assault began without warning. "I had suddenly heard somebody moving quickly on the other side of the aisle from me. When I looked over, it was this guy who was lunging across the aisle with what at the time I thought was a pen. And he stabbed me straight in the neck," the victim stated in official reports.
What initially appeared to be a writing instrument proved to be a deadly weapon as Kenny allegedly continued his assault. The victim fought back desperately, explaining, "I was able to grab his wrist and was trying to push him off me, and in that time, he kept stabbing and jabbing, and it was more towards the head."
By the time the attack ended, the victim had sustained six stab wounds to his head, neck, and arm. The severity of his injuries required emergency airlift transportation to a hospital in El Paso for treatment.
Other passengers witnessed the chaos unfold. "We just grabbed everything and started driving towards him. Because we didn't know what was going on," one passenger recalled.
The victim referenced another recent transit attack, stating, "I had just seen it on TV, and I had seen it all over social media, and that was scary enough. The poor girl. She had no help."
Kenny was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He remains held without bond as the investigation continues.
