A man has been arrested on suspicion of shooting his ex-girlfriend in the face while working as an LA Metro bus driver in East Hollywood, authorities said.
Police responded to a call at 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 1600 block of North Vermont Avenue, where a 56-year-old woman was found bleeding from a gunshot wound to the face, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The bus driver was parked and on break when authorities say a man suddenly approached and shot him. No one else was on the bus at the time.
The driver was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery in a serious but stable condition, the police said at the time. The LAPD did not provide an update on the victim's condition.
Two days after the attack, police identified Dorian Holt, 45, of Los Angeles, as the suspect. Authorities say he fled the scene and left the state.
The LAPD arrested him Thursday in Escondido, shortly after he returned to Southern California.
He was arrested for attempted murder. His bail has been set at $1 million, police said.
