Woman slashed on Metrobus, police seek suspect

WASHINGTON – Police are searching for a woman who slashed another woman on a Metrobus.

Metro officials say the two women got into a verbal altercation on a bus Saturday morning in southeast Washington. The incident escalated into a physical fight, and one woman slashed the other on the forehead.

The suspect fled on foot, and the victim was taken to a hospital with non- life-threatening injuries.

Metro says the bus is being taken out of circulation so that police can review surveillance video.
