INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating what led to a stabbing on a city bus that sent a 17-year-old girl to a hospital.
It happened Wednesday on an IndyGo route around East 21st and North Olney streets.
Daian Manns' mother shared photos with 13News, which show her daughter being treated in a trauma center.
Manns, who graduated high school early, was riding the bus to an internship at IUPUI when police said another passenger attacked her. Dominique Bailey, 32, was arrested on aggravated battery charges.
Police haven't said what led to the attack, but Manns' mother told 13News it seemed to be a mental health crisis.
According to court documents, the driver of the bus, along with several riders, witnessed Bailey stab Manns in the back with a pair of scissors. One witness told police Bailey was verbally antagonizing Manns prior to the attack.
The driver and other passengers subdued Bailey and pulled her off the bus until police arrived, according to the court documents.
Manns was transported to Eskenazi Hospital in serious but stable condition.
