A straphanger who was fatally stabbed in the throat in a random subway attack at a California metro station early Monday — with her alleged attacker now in handcuffs.
Elliot Tramel Nowden, 45, was arrested and charged with murder just 30 minutes after the shocking unprovoked attack at 5 a.m. at the Universal City Station, the Los Angeles Police Department said .
Police said Nowden was on the B-Line train with the victim when he suddenly slashed her throat as the car pulled into the station — leaving the victim bleeding on the platform as horrified commuters looked on.
“Investigators believe there are additional, unreported victims of Nowden,” LAPD said in a statement.
The attack came on Earth Day, when metro trains and buses in the City of Angels are free of charge, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times .
The outlet said homicides on LA subway trains have inched upward in recent years, from none in 2019 to six last year, even as ridership is growing — 5.7 million riders in March up from 5.1 million in February.
