Darnell R. Scott, 37, reportedly stabbed his unnamed relative, 50, as many as 25 times before he partially disemboweled his body
A man was left in critical condition after his brother-in-law brutally assaulted him on a bus ride.
The attacker, Darnell R. Scott, 37, stabbed his unnamed relative, 50, as many as 25 times before he partially disemboweled the man’s body during a traffic stop Thursday near the 300 block of West 63rd Street in Chicago, Illinois, police say.
The horrific incident ignited after the ‘unfriendly’ relatives randomly bumped into one another on the bus.
According to the Chicago Tribune, it seems Scott walked past his brother-in-law on the bus without acknowledging him, when the elder relative approached him about the awkward encounter.
‘The men do not share a friendly relationship and hadn’t spoken for some time,’ Assistant State’s Attorney Craig Taczy said in court, as Scott was charged with aggravated battery and great bodily harm.

Footage of the bloody fight was captured on cell phone video by riders who witnessed the brawl go down.
When the individuals ‘wrestled on the bus floor, Scott pulled the (pocket knife).’
