Know This Man? He Was Found Confused on MTA Bus in SGV

ARCADIA, CA - Police today sought to positively identify a man found in a confused state on an MTA bus in Arcadia.

The man, who was found about 3:50 p.m. Friday and speaks primarily Spanish, told sheriff's deputies he was 81 and that his name is Jose Rivera, but record checks using that name and approximate date of birth did not lead to a positive ID, according to Arcadia police.

He told investigators he lives in Lincoln Heights or Pomona, but was unable to provide an address, police said.

The man was described as Hispanic, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 115 pounds, with brown eyes, white hair and a bald crown. He has a distinct scar on his right shin, a small scar on his left thumb and a mole on the top right side of his head.

Anyone who might be able to help identify the man was urged to call Arcadia police at (626) 574-5150.
