Man Charged in Pasadena Traffic Attack

A disturbing incident at a Pasadena Metro station on August 7 involved a woman being violently thrown into oncoming traffic by 33-year-old Juan Pablo Flores, who has since been charged with attempted murder and mayhem. The attack, captured on video, shows the victim struggling against Flores as she was repeatedly knocked into the carpool lane of the 210 Freeway. She sustained serious injuries, including a broken nose and deep cuts, and may face long-term disfigurement. Authorities believe the assault was random, with no prior connection between the victim and the attacker. Los Angeles County officials, including Supervisor Janice Hahn, are calling for increased security measures at transit stations to ensure rider safety. Flores is currently held on $2 million bail, and if convicted, could face life in prison.
