The Los Angeles Police Department is on the lookout for a man after a deadly scuffle aboard an LA Metro Bus turned fatal for a 63-year-old male, according to their website. The incident occurred late Wednesday night at approximately 10:49 p.m. when officers, answering an urgent radio call near Western Avenue and Olympic Boulevard, found the victim who had seemingly been in a physical struggle before he died.
