MONTEBELLO—There was an altercation at the Metrolink bus station on 2000 Flotilla St. in Montebello on Monday, August 10 around 10:35 a.m. that resulted in one of the victims acquiring major injuries who is currently in a coma.

Two men had been waiting at the station when the attacker approached the pair and began hitting them with a metal flashlight, repetitively stomping on their heads about 10 times. The attacker was previously caught on a surveillance video on a Los Angeles Metro bus on the same day getting on a bus stop on 1900 block of West 6th Street in Los Angeles at around 9:05 a.m.
