A man who allegedly attacked a woman at a Metro station in Pasadena, threw her onto the train tracks and then into oncoming traffic in a freeway carpool lane pleaded not guilty Tuesday to attempted murder and mayhem.

Juan Pablo Flores, 33, is charged in connection with the attack on a woman at the Metro A Line’s Allen Station about 5:30 a.m. Aug. 7.

Deputies responded that morning to the Metro station, where a woman was punched multiple times in an unprovoked attack, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
