Recently released 911 recordings provide a harrowing glimpse into the desperate attempts by passengers to save a victim of a stabbing on a Charlotte light rail train. This incident involved Kenyon Kareem-Shemar Dobie, a 24-year-old man, who was allegedly assaulted by a twice-deported undocumented immigrant.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has made public four emergency calls connected to the December 5 attack on the Blue Line train in north Charlotte, North Carolina. This event occurred just over three months following the tragic stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on another train in the city.

In one of the 911 calls, a male bystander is heard urgently trying to aid Dobie immediately after the stabbing, pleading for help from emergency services.

“We need police and medics. Somebody got stabbed on the train!” exclaimed the caller, all while attempting to keep Dobie conscious and hopeful. “No, no, please talk to me. You’re going to be here for your kids, right?” he urged.

Kenyon Dobie was allegedly stabbed Friday by an illegal immigrant on a Charlotte train.

The audio, acquired by Fox News Digital, reveals the commendable efforts of good Samaritans who administered vital first aid before emergency teams reached the scene.

In the audio, obtained by Fox News Digital, good Samaritans are heard applying lifesaving measures before emergency personnel arrived on the scene.

“He’s awake right now. He is breathing right now,” the caller said. “You’re not going to die. You’re not gonna die. We’ve got a rag and, like, a jacket applying pressure.”

In dispatch notes reviewed by Fox News Digital, authorities say that the 24-year-old had suffered from a “serious chest wound.”

As the blood loss worsens, the good Samaritans are heard urging Dobie to stay upright.

“Stay up, stay up, stay up,” one passenger is heard saying. “You’re not going to die. Please, stay with me. They’re coming. They’re coming for you. Stay with me. Stay with me.”

When Dobie appears to choke, the dispatcher is heard walking the bystander through on how to roll him carefully onto his side.

“Turn him on his side so he doesn’t choke,” the dispatcher says.

“We’re trying! Please relax, please relax,” a passenger tells Dobie. “I don’t want you to choke, OK? But you got to calm down.”

Moments later, police and emergency responders arrived at the Lynx Blue Line station.

“They should be pulling up any minute,” the dispatcher says.

“OK, the police are here,” the caller replies.

Dobie was transported to a hospital for treatment for “serious injuries and severe lacerations.”

WATCH: Another Charlotte train attack ignites debate over crime

Federal authorities have charged Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, 33, a twice-deported Honduran national with a violent criminal record, in connection with the stabbing. He faces one count of illegal reentry by a removed alien and one count of committing an act of violence on a mass transportation system.

Police incident records obtained by Fox News Digital confirm that the attacker used a knife and fled the scene immediately after stabbing Dobie in the chest around 4:49 p.m. in the 1800 block of North Brevard Street.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, FBI Director Kash Patel criticized the suspect’s repeated illegal returns to the U.S.

“An individual who was deported twice, convicted of violent crimes, and repeatedly reentered our country illegally had no business being on a public train in Charlotte, or anywhere near American citizens,” Patel said. “What happened on that light rail is exactly what occurs when our borders are treated like suggestions instead of laws.”

The stabbing attack comes months after Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on the Blue Line while going home from work.
