Machete attack at Tucson bus stop - 2 teen girls hurt

Police in Tucson say two girls are recovering from injuries they received when a man with a machete attacked them at a bus stop.

Police spokesman Sgt. Fabian Pacheco says three girls were waiting at a bus stop when a man with a bandana over his face came up behind them and starting hacking with the machete.

Pacheco says a 17-year-old girl appeared to be the main target of Monday night's attack. She was critically hurt, suffering several machete strikes to her face and head, and to her forearms as she tried to fend off the attack.

The 17-year-old's friend tried to intervene and was also struck but not seriously injured. The third friend wasn't hurt.

Pacheco says the girl did not know her attacker, who left in a white four-door Dodge sedan.
