A man was fatally stabbed in Long Beach early Wednesday, prompting a police investigation and disrupting service on Metro’s A Line.
Officers responded to Pacific Avenue and 5th Street around 5 a.m. to reports of a stabbing.
Police found a man with stab wounds to his upper body and firefighters transported him to a local hospital.
“Long Beach Fire Department personnel responded and transported the victim to a local hospital,” according to a Long Beach Police Department public information officer, Andrea Moran. “The motive for the incident is unknown. The investigation is ongoing.”
Reports from the scene showed a light rail train stopped at the location, and Metro said bus shuttles are operating between the Pacific and Anaheim stations.
