Red Line Vermont-Santa Monica station closed after assault
The Red Line Vermont-Santa Monica station was closed Tuesday night because of an assault investigation, law enforcement officials said.
Red Line trains were bypassing the station, Metro said on its Twitter account. The transit agency said the station was expected to reopen soon.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s transit detail, which patrols the subway, said an assault occurred on the rail platform and that it was closed while deputies gathered evidence.
No other details were immediately available.
