Man abused woman and attacked her husband at Amtrak station in Fairfield, police say

FAIRFIELD – A man is in custody accused of sexually assaulting a woman and attacking her husband at an Amtrak station in Fairfield, authorities said Tuesday.

Terrance Royston Sr., 53, was booked into the Solano County Jail and faces multiple counts of sexual assault, Fairfield police said.

According to the department, officers were dispatched to the station shortly before 11:20 a.m. on a report of a woman in distress. En route, officers learned that it was a sexual assault.

A security guard from a nearby school was closer to the scene and responded within three minutes, a police spokesman said. This security guard was able to intervene and then pursue the suspect to an area near the station tunnel.

This suspect, later identified as Royston, was arrested.

Investigators said Royston physically assaulted the woman's husband at some point. The woman and her husband were taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Royston was also later found to have attempted to rob another person before getting off a train arriving at Fairfield Station, police said. It was not yet clear whether Royston would face charges in that incident.
