NORRISTOWN, PA — A suspect has been arrested after a woman was stabbed to death on the DeKalb Street Bridge in broad daylight on Monday afternoon, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.

The incident occurred at about 3:06 p.m.

Bruce Puia, 51, of Bridgeport, allegedly stabbed Donna Marie Donato, 62, multiple times while on the bridge, authorities said.

When police arrived, they found Puia with blood on his hands. Donato, meanwhile, was already dead, authorities said.

Puia told police that he and Donato had previously dated.

An autopsy by the Montgomery County Coroner's Office on Tuesday confirmed Donato's death as a homicide due to multiple stab wounds.

Puia was arraigned Monday. Bail was denied. A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 30.
