He tried to get away from man with a knife. His body was found near train tracks, cops say

A fight between two men on a bus Monday morning ended with one of the men stabbing the other to death near the train tracks in Fort Lauderdale, according to police

The victim tried to get away from the suspect when authorities say his path was blocked by a passing train.

The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Jonathan Church, is now facing a murder charge.

Officer were sent to Northeast Progresso Drive and Fourth Avenue following reports of a train collision before 9 a.m.

Shortly after officers found the man’s body, a Fort Lauderdale police spokesman said “the circumstances surrounding this death are suspicious.”

By the afternoon, police said there was “an altercation began between two males on a Broward County bus.”

Then men exited the bus — it was clear exactly where they got off the bus — and “the altercation continued to escalate,” police added.

That’s when Church pulled out a knife, according to police.

“The victim attempted to run away but was unable to due to a passing train,” police said in a news release. “The suspect was able to catch up to the victim and ultimately stabbed him to death. “

The victim, who police did not identify because his family had not been notified, was never struck by the train, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
