Police say this video was taken just after the attack on Zarutska.

Another angle shows people running from the train to get help.

A third video shows him walking on the platform before police approach with their guns drawn to take him into custody.

On September 15, a grand jury indicted Decarlos Brown Jr. for first-degree murder. He currently remains at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center. An order was also filed for Brown to be committed to Central Regional Hospital – Butner for a period not to exceed 60 days for observation and treatment, to determine his capacity to proceed. An administrative court hearing is scheduled for this October.

If Brown does not request a formal arraignment within 21 days of receiving the indictment, a not guilty plea will be entered on his behalf by the court. At this time, Brown has not entered a plea.
