Micah Fletcher, the man who survived being stabbed on a MAX train in Portland in an attack that killed two others, spoke to TV stations Tuesday, saying he is trying to heal spiritually and physically but is struggling in the aftermath of Friday's violence.
Speaking with KGW (8), Fletcher said he is just focusing on trying to get better.
"I got stabbed in the neck on my way to work, randomly, by a stranger I don't know, for trying to just be a nice person," said the 21-year-old Portland State University student. "Like, I don't know what to do after that, you know.

"If you live here, move here, or if you want to call this city home -- it is your home," KATU (2) reported Fletcher said. "And we must protect each other like that is the truth, no matter what the consequences.
"The Muslim community, especially in Portland, needs to understand that there are a lot of us that are not going to stand by and let anybody whether they are from here or not scare you into thinking you can't be a part of this town, this city, this community, or this country," Fletcher said.
