Police took someone into custody early Wednesday on suspicion of hijacking a public bus in Los Angeles, with at least one person seriously injured.

“[The] driver is out of the bus with the help of SWAT, uninjured,” an LAPD spokesperson said, adding that a suspect was in custody.

Police also said that an “additional victim inside the bus is being transported to the hospital” and that CPR was in progress. No further details were given on the nature of the injury nor the victim’s identity.

LA Metro said in a statement that it was “grateful for the LAPD’s swift action regarding this morning’s bus hijacking incident and is grateful the operator was unharmed.”

“Metro is providing the operator with the support he needs,” the statement added.

This is still an active investigation being led by the LAPD.

Onlookers apparently at the scene while the police operation was in progress posted footage to TikTok and YouTube. In one video showing a parked orange bus, police are heard saying: “This is LAPD, you’re surrounded, come out with your hands up.”

The driver and the alleged hijacker were both evaluated by Los Angeles Fire Department and required no medical treatment.

A further police statement said it was unknown what happened leading up to the incident.

LAPD confirmed shortly before 6 a.m. ET that a bus had come to a standstill at Almeda and 6th Street in downtown Los Angeles and that a SWAT team was on its way to the scene.

LA Metro said the situation was ongoing and it would provide more information when possible.
