LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com)   —  Authorities on Monday will ask the public's help to find a violent suspect who attacked a female bus driver last week in West Hills.

Sheriff's deputies and Metro officials will hold a joint news conference Monday at 2 p.m. in front of Metro headquarters (1 Gateway Plaza) to discuss the attack.
