A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer was hospitalized on Thursday after a homeless man allegedly bit off part of his finger at a Metro station.
They then escorted the homeless man off the train, at which point he “became violent,” the LAPD said.
As for the homeless man, he was identified as 36-year-old Ephraim Okorie, and was arrested and charged with mayhem and resisting an executive order. He is currently being held on $100,000 bail. “We remain committed to our work each day to improve the safety of the entire transit system with dedicated patrols engaging those who pose a risk to the safety of others,” Moore added.
“The Metro family wishes him a speedy recovery,” the Metro station continued. “We take this matter extremely seriously and have zero tolerance for violent acts on the Metro System.”
