BART Police said Monday that the first incident, they believed the suspect hit a subject with a pair of bolt cutters while the second incident happened to a subject who was hit by the suspect while waiting for a train. Both attacks were unprovoked.

The suspect also punched and kicked the victim before fleeing the train and running out of the station. According to the victim and witnesses, the attack was unprovoked. The suspect was not located. The victim was treated for a laceration to his head and transported to the hospital via ambulance with non-life threatening injuries. 1708-0265 L16
