Riders along Metro’s C Line should expect delays Tuesday evening as officers investigate a stabbing at one of the stations. 

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the stabbing happened at Metro’s Crenshaw Station at Crenshaw Boulevard along the I-105 Freeway. 

Deputies found one person with several stab wounds. The victim was taken to the hospital where he later died. 

According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the person that stabbed the victim suffered gunshot wounds. The sheriff’s department said it’s unclear how he sustained the injury, and clarified that deputies did not shoot the man.

Metro advised riders to expect up to 15-minute delays since the investigation has forced trains to share one track.
