Washington was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He later died from his injuries.

A press release from Metro said the two men knew each other and got into an argument near the station. The release said the argument ended in a physical altercation.

The release said the assault was caught on camera, and the Metro security team is assisting St. Louis police with the investigation.

According to police, Johnson was taken into custody without incident.
