A knife-wielding man was shot and killed after attacking a security guard at a Hollywood Metro station Tuesday morning, according to authorities.
A knife-wielding man was shot and killed after stabbing a security guard at a Hollywood Metro station Tuesday morning, authorities said. Los Angeles Police Department officers responded about 9:10 a.m. to 1500 North Vermont Avenue to a report of a security guard being stabbed, according to Officer Kevin Terzes. A man was found trespassing during a security sweep of the non-public area at the Vermont/Sunset station, according to a statement from Metro spokesperson Dave Sotero.
Last week, hundreds of Metro drivers held a sick-out protest in response to the growing number of assaults on drivers. Dozens of bus routes were delayed as a result. About 360 operators or about 10% of drivers for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority called out sick, according to the agency. Train and bus operators have criticized Metro for not responding adequately to violence in recent weeks.
