Cincinnati has public transportation and this is one reason why I avoid it.

DOWNTOWN — A woman was brutally stabbed several times and a second was punched in what Cincinnati police say were random attacks at Government Square downtown during lunchtime Tuesday.
The stabbing victim suffered a punctured lung about 1:30 p.m. at Metro’s downtown transit hub at Fifth and Walnut streets, just one block east of Fountain Square.
Raven, who has a long, violent criminal record, told authorities he meant to kill the stabbing victim, identified in court records as Tiara Metcalf.
“...the defendant states while attempting to murder her, the victim would not hold still, and his intention was to murder her,” police wrote in a sworn statement.
Precisely - I personally wouldn’t want to be taking my chances that the next random lunatic is right around the corner.
