LOS ANGELES - A man was brutally attacked after getting off an MTA bus near the 5000 block of Exposition Boulevard and it was all caught on camera.
The vicious assault happened on March 11. Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's Southwest Division are asking for the public's help to identify the suspect.
