ATLANTA (GaeaTimes.com)- Elias Abuelazam, the man who is suspected to be behind the stabbing spree across three states of United States has finally been apprehended by the authorities. The 33-year-old man was arrested by the officials as he was attempting to flee the country and go to his native land Israel and was just about to board an Israel bound flight on Wednesday. The murder suspect was detained by the cops at the Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport after the cops got a tip-off from a lead in Michigan. The arrest ultimately brings to an end the desperate man-hunt by the cops to detain the culprit who is suspected to have slashed eighteen people in three U.S. states which left as many as five people dead.

An official who was part of the investigation to nab the murder suspect has revealed to the media that Elias Abuelazam is an Israeli citizen who lived in the United States with his uncle on a green card and was traveling to his native country with an expired Israeli passport. The 33-year-old man was waiting to board a Delta flight bound for Tel Aviv when he was detained by the Atlanta Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Meanwhile, officials have revealed that Elias Abuelazam is responsible for the attacks which were carried in Leesburg in the state of Virginia as well as in Flint, Michigan. At the same time, the Israeli-Arab is also suspected to be behind the stabbing attack that took place on Saturday in Toledo, Ohio that left a man severely injured.
