Los Angeles authorities say a man was fatally stabbed on a
platform of the Metro Purple Line subway in the Koreatown
neighborhood and that a suspect has been detained.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says deputies
were called to the station on Wilshire Boulevard Sunday
afternoon. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

A suspect was arrested in the area a short time later.
