Long Beach A Line Platform Stabbing Under Investigation

The response disrupted A Line service for downtown Long Beach commuters.

Overview

  • The victim, found on the Pacific Station platform around 5 a.m. Wednesday, was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
  • A train operator on the A Line spotted the injured man and called for help, and Metro publicly praised that quick report.
  • Long Beach police say no arrests have been made, no suspect details are available, and the motive remains unknown.
  • Metro halted trains near Pacific Station, turned back southbound service at Anaheim, ran a shuttle train for inner Long Beach stops, and set up a bus bridge between Pacific and Anaheim.
  • During police activity on rail lines, Metro often uses bus bridges to carry riders around a closure while investigators secure the scene and collect evidence.
