A quick-thinking MTA worker helped stop an arsonist who was setting fires in downtown Los Angeles Thursday morning.
The suspect was caught on video around 2 a.m. lighting brush and trees on fire on Alameda Street near Union Station.
Several people began calling 911 to report the incident but an MTA worker was the first to take action.
The driver grabbed a fire extinguisher from his bus and doused the flames before firefighters arrived.
The arson suspect was taken into custody when law enforcement arrived.
The motive for the incident was unclear.
No injuries were reported in the incident and no structures were damaged.
