A reported stabbing on a Metrolink train in Acton sent one person to the hospital Monday evening, officials said.

The incident was reported before 6:35 p.m. Monday on the Antelope Valley Line train 219 heading from Union Station to Lancaster, according to Deputy Steve Woolum, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau.

“When the train arrived at the (Vincent Grade/Acton Station), we had fire and deputies staging,” Woolum said. “One person was arrested.”

During the incident, the much larger suspect jumped onto the victim, and continually struck him in the face several times with his fists. The victim, fearing for his life produced a pocket knife and stabbed the suspect in the shoulder to stop the threat, according to Sheriff’s officials.

The suspect, 29-year-old Raffael Brown, was transported to a local hospital for a non-life threatening injuries to his shoulder. The suspect is expected to be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and held in lieu of $30,000 bail.

The victim, a 49-year-old resident of Palmdale was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The investigation is ongoing and there is no further information at this time.
