PANAMA CITY — A man known to have bitten a cop’s head has been arrested in connection with a stabbing at the Greyhound bus station, the Panama City Police Department reported.
Karim Bien Aime, 34, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, hours after the alleged attack took place on Harrison Avenue, according to police. Marlon Sequeria, 18, said he was stabbed with a screwdriver over a “funny look” earlier Tuesday at the station. Sequeria said he was stabbed three times, but the tool didn’t puncture his skin, before Aime took off on foot, witnesses said.

Aime was spotted by a member of the local news media, who then reported his whereabouts near West Beach Drive and East Caroline Boulevard, police said. Aime was transported to Bay County Jail and was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
The incident was caught on video, police reported, and officers recognized Aime from numerous previous interactions with the man.
Aime had recently been released from prison after serving time for punching a cop in the face and then biting the top of his head, drawing blood, according to court records. He pleaded no contest to the charges in 2012 of battery on a PCPD officer and was sentenced to more than two years in prison.
