A Florida man who had been released from jail just days earlier is accused of choking a child and threatening bystanders with a knife at a school bus stop, an attack that was stopped by good Samaritans before police arrived, authorities said.

The DeLand Police Department arrested Christopher Steven Schwable, 36, on Tuesday after multiple witnesses reported seeing him grab a juvenile by the throat and later pull a folding knife during a confrontation with adults who stepped in, according to FOX 35 Orlando.

Witnesses told investigators that Schwable approached a group of children waiting for a school bus and assaulted one child, prompting an adult bystander to intervene after seeing the juvenile escape.

During the confrontation, Schwable allegedly pulled a knife from his sleeve and waved it toward others, leading the bystander to strike him with a toolbox and restrain him until officers arrived.

When police reached the scene, Schwable was found on the ground with a head injury, and officers recovered a knife beneath him, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 35.

The child suffered a cut to a finger and was visibly distraught, police said. The boy is a seventh grade student at Southwestern Middle School, a spokesperson with Volusia County schools confirmed to FOX 35.

BZ bystander! Toolbox to a knife fight? Have a look at Mr. Schwable’s booking pic- seems to work pretty well.

When you disarm your subjects, you offend them by showing that either from cowardliness or lack of faith, you distrust them; and either conclusion will induce them to hate you.
