LOS ANGELES – Two people were stabbed in separate incidents across Los Angeles Monday night, raising questions once again about whether it’s safe to ride on the Metro transit system.Â
The first stabbing happened around 7 p.m. on the Metro Line 180 bus near Los Feliz Road and S. Central Avenue in Glendale. Â The preliminary investigation reveals three teenage suspects assaulted a teenage passenger, with the possible intent of stealing his backpack.Â
When the bus operator stopped the bus, investigators said four teens got off the bus where the fight continued on the street and two of four people were stabbed.Â
The two teens with stab wounds were taken to area hospitals for injuries considered non-life-threatening. Meanwhile, two other male juveniles were arrested at the scene, authorities said.Â
About an hour later, officials said another victim was stabbed at the C Line train station at Vermont/Athens in South LA inside an elevator.Â

SUGGESTED:

The investigations are ongoing. Â
