Two stabbed at Hollywood Metro Red Line station; suspect sought

Metro's Red Line train station at Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue was closed Tuesday morning after a man stabbed and injured two people.

The stabbing took place about 4:30 a.m., just as train service was beginning for the day, said Metro spokesman Marc Littman.

The suspect and the two victims -- a man and a woman -- got into an argument in the mezzanine level of the station and the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed them. The male victim's throat was slashed, an official said.

The male victim had a laceration to the neck and was in serious but stable condition. The woman's injuries were less serious, Littman said. Both were transported to local hospitals.
