    Re: knifeman in the title.

    Probably just really lazy editing and not understanding the actual story. It says he struck the parking attendant with a broken cane causing lacerations.

    I mean… A broken piece of wood can be sharp enough to pierce/slash the skin. Lacerations usually means knife but either AI or the editor skimmed the article and modified the headline to be more outstanding and made it factually incorrect.

    It also says he was later tracked down and found wielding the 6 foot stick, so the video only shows said stick and would not include the cane from earlier.
