The 17-year-old was having a meal on the floor when she was attacked with a butcher knife Sunday. Officials say they aren't yet ruling out hate crime charges.

A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.

Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release. The victim was eating a meal while sitting on the floor when, officials say, Love attacked her without provocation, stabbing her about 18 times in her face, head, arms, shoulders, neck and legs before he tried to throw her over a safety retaining glass, officials said.

FWIW, I'm a dude who has flown on planes before and my understanding of terminals was the same as yours.

Toronto Pearson, eg, has 2 terminals (1 & 2).
That's what they are named. Because that is what they are.
There are at least a dozen places to eat, pre-security.

I've been there over 3000 times since 2013. And eaten there many of those times.

Top of my head, I've been in 40 international airports, and except for Havana, I've never been screened pre-departure area.

Maybe my understanding was mistaken then? In my defense, I haven't been on a plane in like well over a decade lol
