Alex Herrera, another hotel resident, was arrested a block-and-a-half away from the hotel, about 10 minutes after the stabbing, according to police spokesman Sgt. Wilfred Williams.

"He had left the scene but he was detained by hotel staff, until police arrived," Williams said.

Herrera didn't have a weapon on him when he was arrested, and Williams would not confirm whether a weapon had been found at the hotel.
