LONG BEACH \u2014 A 66-year-old homeless man has been arrested for the April 1 stabbing of a 72-year-old South Gate man on a Metro train in Long Beach earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Police said April 8 that Cary Odell Singletary, a 66-year-old unhoused person, was booked for attempted murder, and his bail was set at $1,000,000.<\/p>\n
The case originated around 5 am on April 1. Officers responded to the 400 block of North Pacific Avenue regarding a report of a stabbing and found the victim lying on the Metro station platform on Pacific Avenue near Fifth Street, police said.<\/p>\n
