An argument that started on a Metro bus and spilled outside in Woodland Hills left the driver stabbed and in critical condition and police searching for the boyish-looking man who was captured on surveillance video, authorities said. The confrontation occurred about 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, near Erwin Street and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. It is unclear what sparked the violence; the driver was stabbed more than once, officials said.

She met the family of the driver, who had surgery that night. He is a husband and a father. “The driver is still not out of the woods yet,” the mayor said during Metro Board of Directors meeting on Thursday. “We need to keep him in our prayers.” LA Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins said at the meeting she had heard from doctors on Thursday morning: “He did try to open his eyes this morning, and the doctor said that was a good sign,” she said.
