LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a story July 1 about a suspect in a series of Los Angeles bus attacks, The Associated Press reported erroneously the plea entered by Hector Resendez. He pleaded not guilty, rather than guilty.

A corrected version of the story is below:

Man pleads not guilty to LA County bus attacks

Man pleads not guilty to attacking 8 passengers on Los Angeles County transit buses

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man has pleaded not guilty to attacking eight people on Los Angeles County transit buses.

Twenty-four-year-old Hector Resendez entered pleas Tuesday to 13 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, battery and attempted murder.

He could face multiple life sentences if convicted.

Prosecutors say he attacked passengers on Metro buses last month, stabbing several with a screwdriver.

Several victims were treated at hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.

There’s no word on what motivated the attacks.
