Bus Driver Sucker-Punched By Angry Passenger
- 12 years ago
Bus Driver shocked when he's punched by a passenger who did not pay for ticket.
A Kansas City bus driver recently became the victim of a harsh and unnecessary assault. The disturbing incident was caught on video and police have released the footage to the public, in hopes that someone will recognize the assailant.
A group of friends reportedly boarded the bus, promising that their friend would pick up the cost, but the last person to get on didn’t have enough money to pay for everyone. That’s when the bus driver ordered them to get off. While departing, one man from the group sucker-punched the 54-year-old driver in the face, catching him completely by surprise. The driver was left disoriented, but tried to finish his route. The remaining passengers asked him to stop once the bus hit some orange cones. A reward has been set up for information.
Earlier this year, in a similar incident, a rider reportedly boarded a Bronx bus without paying, by entering through the back door. That same passenger asked for a transfer, but the driver would not do it. The rider then punched and choked the bus operator and managed to get away.
