At 2049 hours, a female pedestrian gave us a crime tip about a male pedestrian, informing us that he had been involved in an assault on a bus. We passed on this information to MPD officers, asking them if there had been any reports of an assault, or if they were searching for an individual matching the provided description.

Angel Cowens immediately detained one assailant at the scene, while Angels Estrada and Cargill assisted MPD and Metro Transit officers in pursuing the second.
