AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- Police in Aurora are examining surveillance video from an RTD bus that captured a fight leading up to a deadly stabbing.
The stabbing happened at about 4:40 p.m. Thursday aboard the bus in the area of E. Smoky Hill and S. Chambers Road.
Aurora Police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson said the altercation moved to the front of the bus where the driver realized what was happening and pulled over at E. Smoky Hill and S. Chambers.

During the altercation the third male pulled out a knife and stabbed the other two. Sometime during the incident the two pushed the third up against the windshield causing it to break out.
“We saw a person running up the way. They said he had a cut hand,” said witness Carmine Lonardo.
Lonardo owns a business near the intersection. He and his employees got a front seat view to the RTD bus pulling over and the events that happened after that.
The two who were stabbed got off the bus. One man, Aaron Bishop, walked eastbound to the intersection of S. Chambers Road and E. Smoky Hill Road where he collapsed. The 38-year-old was rushed to the hospital and died a short time later.
Police hope the surveillance video from inside the bus will help them determine if any charges will be filed. As of Friday afternoon, no one has been charged or arrested in connection with the deadly stabbing.
“The passengers were scared, were in fear and probably couldn’t wait for that bus to stop,” said Carlson.
There were approximately ten other passengers on the bus who were questioned by detectives about what happened along with the man who had the knife.
“One of my employees takes that very bus every morning so he probably knows or has seen that person before,” said Lonardo.
Police said it’s still unclear if the men knew each other.
RTD said the assualt was the first that ended in a death in more than 10 years.
