CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A 50-year-old Cleveland man who pleaded guilty to stabbing and kidnapping a woman in Ohio City earlier this year, will be sentenced in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Thursday.

In September, Rayshon Demore Reese pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping and one count of attempted murder.

Prosecutors said Reese, a convicted rapist, attacked a woman on April 15 in Ohio City while she waited at a bus stop.

The victim told police she was walking early that morning in the area of West 25th Street and Detroit Avenue when the suspect, later identified as Reese, approached her.

He asked her about the time and bus schedules before he pulled out a box cutter and threatened her, according to prosecutors and police.

Officers said Reese forced the victim, a 59-year-old woman, to walk with him.

As they were nearing West 28th Street, police and prosecutors said the woman fell down as she tried to get the attention of nearby drivers.

That’s when Reese stabbed her multiple times.

Reese fled in his car and was later arrested at a home on Storer Avenue.
