Authorities believe a fist fight on a Gold Line train in Pasadena ended with the stabbing of a 33-year-old man Friday night.
The stabbing comes a week after a fatal stabbing on a Red Line train in Hollywood, the first slaying on the subway.
In the Gold Line case, the victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Jose Paul Vasquez, 36, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a knife with blood on it was recovered from his pants pocket, authorities said. His bail was set at $1 million.
Police said the stabbing occurred about 6:40 p.m. inside the northbound train of the Gold Line light rail system as it approached the Memorial Park station on East Holly Street.
Pasadena officers were there to meet the train and arrest Vasquez.
