(Sauk Rapids, MN) — A man from Sauk Rapids is charged with attempted hijacking of a B-N-S-F train and assaulting the engineer.
The victim told investigators 40-year-old Samuel Hohman hopped aboard the locomotive, wrapped his arms around the engineer’s neck and told him to speed up and get out of town.
Investigators say Hohman then grabbed a small folding knife from a bag and stabbed the victim in the forehead.
The engineer and Hohman struggled, and the B-N-S-F employee was able to bite Hohman’s hand, free himself, and jump from the train. It came to a stop in Sartell, where Hohman was arrested.
