For a moment, he looked back out the window, as if that was all he was going to do. But in a quick movement, he launched up and swung his arm over the seat and fatally stabbed Zarutska, who clutched her face and throat before slouching to the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmfbuumg8004o3b6nhim9gmzz@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">Zarutska died on the train from her injuries as passengers kneeled over her trying to help.
