Officers say the suspect ran from the scene, the incident appears isolated, and Valley Metro is urging riders to report concerns through 911 or the AlertVM app while cooperating with the investigation.
• Handsome at Any Cost(nytimes.com) — A controversial 20-year-old livestreamer has been staying and streaming around Arizona State University in Tempe, drawing crowds, imitators, and concern with his extreme “looksmaxxing” lifestyle. The story follows his Tempe Airbnb routines, a party he hosted at Varsity Tavern downtown, and a nearby arrest that briefly kept him in Arizona before prosecutors declined to pursue charges.
