City of Miami police have arrested a 34-year-old man, who they said was responsible for a late-night stabbing on Saturday.

A woman was reportedly stabbed in the leg and arm at Bayside Marketplace, before she was later transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

Traces of blood could still be seen Sunday afternoon, outside of one of the clothing stores in the shopping center.

Richard Jin has since been arrested on several charges including attempted felony murder, robbery and criminal mischief.
