Lopez Christian Webster, 32, was sliced in half by the train, cops say.
Justice hit an Iowa crook like a freight train, Des Moines cops say.
Lopez Christian Webster, 32, broke into an East Grand Ave. home on Tuesday and stabbed a man repeatedly before fleeing with the warning “move and I kill you,” .

A Union Pacific train, like this one, ran over a fleeing Des Moines man who allegedly had just invaded a home and stabbed a man.
But his getaway was not so clean. Webster tried to hop some train tracks — as a Union Pacific train rolled through — and was sliced in half and killed instantly, the Des Moines Register reports.
The train conductor had no idea Webster, who tried to pass between two cars as the train was moving, had been fatally struck. The train was finally flagged down in Ankeny, Iowa, about 12 miles north.

The house Webster allegedly robbed sits right next to the train tracks in Des Moines, Iowa.
“Not many times do we see accidents with that level of trauma, thankfully,” Des Moines Sgt. Richard Wallace told KCCI. “But I guarantee it’s something you’ll never forget in your lifetime.”
Webster allegedly barged into the East Walnut home and stabbed one resident in the neck, arms and chest.

Cops say Lopez Christian Webster, 32, first entered this home, stabbed its resident and stole something before fleeing the scene. He was cut down in his tracks - by a train.
The victim told cops he didn’t know Webster, but provided police with a description of the assailant.
Webster allegedly grabbed an unknown item before fleeing, telling the resident to stay put — or be killed.
But it was Webster who was ill-fated, police say. He died around 9 p.m. Tuesday while the man he stabbed is expected to recover from his wounds.
Webster reportedly leaves behind two children. He has past arrests for drug and assault charges.
