A 50-year-old man was hospitalized after a stabbing on a Metro bus in South Los Angeles on Saturday. 

It happened at around 3:50 p.m. while the bus was in the area of 30th Street and Vermont Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

The victim, who hasn't been identified, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
