Barney the Dinosaur Helps LAPD Catch Box Cutter Wielding Woman on Hollywood Blvd.

barney_lapd.jpgThis afternoon, a woman threatened a bus driver in Hollywood with a box cutter saying if she wasn't taken where she wanted, she would cut her, according to KCAL News at 3:00 p.m.

The driver of Metro route 312 pulled to the curbed in front of the El Capitan Theatre near Hollywood and Highland and opened the doors. Everyone safely exited and the woman walked away nonchalantly.

A couple witnesses, including a man dressed up as Barney the Dinosaur working for tips on the street, helped police by pointing out where she was. She was promptly caught.
