Authorities are seeking additional victims following the arrest of a 27-year-old man in a sexual assault at the Culver City Metro Station.
The suspect, identified by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as Roderick Moore, was arrested Sunday in the attack on a woman at the station. He was charged with two felony counts of sexual assault and held on $210,000 bond.
The attack was reported at about 4 a.m. Sunday. The woman was waiting on a Metro platform when she was assaulted. She boarded the train, but Moore is accused of following her on board, authorities said.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said the woman used the train's emergency call function. The operator found the woman and the attacker, then called law enforcement.
