Atlanta police apprehended a man hours after they said he randomly attacked two people, including a woman who was fatally stabbed on the Beltline near the Ansley Golf Club, authorities said Thursday.
Officers spotted the suspect and a bike he had been riding on Peachtree Street near Pine Street shortly after asking the public for help looking for him, officials said. The man was taken into custody without incident, authorities announced, and his identity was not immediately released.
