A fight began, during which the perpetrator took out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times. Shaw allegedly then turned his attention to the other victim, a bystander attempting to call 911. Shaw then punched and kicked the Good Samaritan in the face and head while trying to steal the phone, authorities said."
