For context, Zarutska boarded a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 22. Shortly after boarding, she was reportedly stabbed with a pocket knife by Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old homeless repeat felon. The attack was unprovoked, and Zarutska was left stunned. She fell to the floor and ultimately succumbed to her injuries.

In a post on X, McGregor paid his respects to the Ukrainian refugee, writing:

"I cannot escape the images circulating of the innocent, harmless, Ukrainian woman on public transport. Brutally m*rdered from behind. For nothing! I wish the absolute worst for her killer and I am neither shy nor sorry in saying this. The absolute WORST IS DESERVED! Slava UKRAINE 🇺🇦 ❤️🙏 RIP Iryna Zarutska"
