Suspect at large following stabbing incident on downtown LA bus

In a disturbing incident in downtown Los Angeles, a woman was stabbed aboard a bus by an assailant wielding a knife early Saturday morning, according to police reports.

The attack took place at approximately 6:55 a.m. on an LA Metro bus near the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Grand Avenue, as confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department.

The victim, who managed to walk to the paramedics, was subsequently transported to a hospital for further treatment following the assault.

Authorities are on the lookout for the suspect, described as an African American male between 20 and 30 years old. At the time of the incident, he was seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and a black cap.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear. However, according to a bus driver who spoke to OnScene.TV, the suspect initially pushed the woman before stabbing her in the abdomen.

“I don’t know why he did that. He looked like a normal person,” the driver said.

Video showed the victim being loaded into an ambulance before it drove away with sirens blaring.

The frightening attack happened on the 76 line, which provides service between the El Monte Station and Downtown LA-Grand/Venice via Little Tokyo.

It occurred just a few blocks from the GRAMMY Museum and Crypto.com Arena.
