On Wednesday, a standoff occurred in Los Angeles after the reports of a hijacked passenger bus. Notably, the incident took place near the intersection of 6th Street and South Alameda Street, although official confirmation of the exact location is still awaited.
According to the media reports, initial footage from the scene showed one individual, believed to be the bus driver, being held hostage. However, the recent reports indicated that the driver managed to escape, though the status and whereabouts of the suspect remain unclear.
This incident brings back the memories of a similar event in March when an armed man hijacked a transit bus in downtown Los Angeles. In that case, the suspect took control of the bus, resulting in a collision with many vehicles and a hotel.
At the time, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that only the driver was on board when the hijacker took over around 11:30 PM. Officials at the spot continue to monitor the current situation.
