Detectives seek help finding man who stabbed passenger on Metro bus
Investigators with the Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau sought help from the public Friday in identifying a man who stabbed another passenger on a Metro bus in Monterey Park.
Surveillance cameras aboard Metro Bus Line 260 captured the Nov. 3. assault, and still images from the video were released to the public in an effort to identify the alleged attacker, according to a department statement.
Investigators said the video shows the attacker and the victim entering the bus at the same time before the 7 p.m. incident. At some point, detectives said, the man got up and stabbed the victim in the throat with a knife or some other sharp object before fleeing from the bus.
The victim survived the attack.
Investigators described the attacker as a Latino in his 30s, about 6 feet, 200 pounds with short black or brown hair, a mustache and a goatee. The man was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts.
If anyone has information, they are asked to contact Det. Kyle Ynclan or Sgt. Eric Jaime at (323) 563-5000. Anonymous tips can be made at LA Crime Stoppers by dialing at (800) 222-8477.
