A Doylestown, Pa. man is arrested in the stabbing of a homeless man, found bleeding on the street outside a train station.

The Bucks County District Attorney's Office says Dale Wakefield was arrested in Baltimore after fleeing town.

The victim, 71-year-old Army veteran George Mohr, was stabbed more than 70 times, according to prosecutors.

A motorist driving by the train station on the 100 block of S. Clinton Street spotted Mohr around 2:45 a.m. and called for help.

Police say it originally appeared as if Mohr had been hit by a car, but once medics arrived on scene they realized he'd been stabbed.

Tonight, Mohr remains in critical condition at Temple University Hospital.

Prosecutors say Wakefield was turned in by his sister, who tipped off authorities after her brother allegedly confessed to her about the stabbing.

Wakefield was out celebrating his 21st birthday before the stabbing occured, prosecutors say.

He's now charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and possessing an instrument of crime.
