As a woman fights for her life after a brutally violent attack at a Los Angeles Metro station in Pasadena, an incident captured on the transit system’s security cameras, many riders are now asking who exactly is keeping an eye on those cameras.
The Aug. 7 incident occurred at around 5:30 a.m. at the Allen Metro station along the Metro A Line.
Footage of the incident obtained by KTLA, which is disturbing and difficult to watch, shows the victim repeatedly being dragged into the carpool lane of the busy 210 Freeway as cars whiz seemingly within inches of running her over, and she fights to survive.
