A 17-year-old transgender girl is in critical condition after being stabbed 18 times at the Miami International Airport over the weekend.

The teen, whose identity has yet to be released, was eating a meal on the floor in the pre-security area of the airport Saturday evening when she was allegedly stabbed in the arms, neck, shoulders, face, and legs by Alexander Love, 29, Miami-Dade County police told NBC News. Love then attempted to throw the girl over a railing.
