Default Re: Anything funny/strange happen to anyone lately?

Was on the bus the other week, and I noticed a man talking to the bus driver. Not out of the ordinary, but he had been standing there for a bit more than normal. I went back to my book and looked up at the next stop to see he's still standing there, I also notice at this juncture that he has a broken left hand/wrist. The man and the driver start yelling at each other (over what I'm not sure.)

The guy begins demanding to be let off the bus even though we weren't at a stop. The man then walks over and pulls the "emergency stop" lever, jumps into the driver seat, and starts pummeling the driver with both hands. I pull out my phone and dial 911, the guy is still wailing on the driver, and I see both the driver and the dude fly towards the door (the diver threw the guy off of him.) The driver opens the door and tries to push the guy out, he succeeds, but gets taken out with the guy in the process, the two continue to grapple in the middle of the street (this whole thing has lasted less than 10 seconds) before the dude ran off down a side street. I made sure the driver didn't need any medical assistance and hung up with 911.

I love the CTA.
