A suspect in a double stabbing at a Tri-Rail station in Hollywood Monday morning was taken into custody after a SWAT standoff at a Miami Gardens gas station, officials said.

The stabbing happened around 9 a.m. at the train station at 3001 Hollywood Boulevard.

Hollywood Police officials confirmed two women were stabbed and taken to Memorial Regional Hospital. One of the women was in critical condition.

"When officers arrived they saw two victims that had been stabbed. They did give them aid immediately and they were than taken to the hospital," police spokesperson Christian Lata said.

Police said it appeared it was a domestic violence incident.

"I saw a man stab a girl. I don't know if it was his girlfriend," said one witness, who didn't want to be identified.

Detectives were at the scene throughout the morning gathering evidence.

By Monday night, officers had apparently found the suspect at a gas station in the 16600 block of Northwest 27th Avenue in Miami Gardens.

The suspect, 37-year-old Tracy Lavon Cross, will face two counts of attempted first-degree murder and grand theft auto, police said.

Cross was booked into the Miami-Dade jail on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer with violence. Attorney information wasn't available.
