Wild ride: bus driver attacked

THAT DOWN. HAVE THAT FORECAST FOR YOU COMING UP. SO YOU THEN MY FRIEND. THANK YOU ALL. BROTHER. YOU TALK ABOUT A WILD RIDE ON A CITY BUS DRIVER ATTACKED PULLED FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL AFTER BEING FORCED TO DEFEND HIMSELF. AND TONIGHT WE'RE SEEING THAT VIDEO FROM ON BOARD NEWS FOUR'S. ADRIENNE, GO AS IS HERE TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR US. ADRIA. >> YEAH, KEVIN AND JOLENE RATHER WAS A SCARY SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER.

THE PASSENGERS AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. THE CITY RELEASING SEVERAL ANGLES OF THE ATTACK AND THAT CRASH WHICH STARTED AFTER AN ANGRY WRITER WANTED OFF THE BUS. >> AND EMBARK BUS DRIVERS STOPPED AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS WESTERN IN BRITAIN, A TRAIN JUST PASSING BY WHILE THE DRIVER WAITS, A MAN WALKS UP TO HIM ASKING TO GET OFF THE BUS. HE'S BEEN IDENTIFIED AS TYRONN HARRISON, THE DRIVER SAYING PER POLICY HE CAN'T LET ANYONE OFF THE BUS UNTIL THE NEXT STOP. THE VIDEO SHOWS HARRIS AND YELLING AT THE DRIVER REACHING AROUND THE PLEXIGLASS AND PUNCHING HIM. YOU CAN SEE THE OPERATOR FIGHTING HARRISON OFF BEFORE HE'S PULLED FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

THE BUS STILL MOVING CARS PASSING BY THE TO STRUGGLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE HARRISON PUNCHES THE DRIVER AGAIN, A DIFFERENT ANGLE SHOWS A PASSENGER COMING TO HELP THE DRIVER AS HE'S THROWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS ANGLE SHOWS THE BUS VEERING OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHING INTO A BUSINESS. A SEATBELT SAVING THE BUS DRIVER FROM BEING THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD. OBVIOUSLY HAD, YOU KNOW, SOME BUMPS AND BRUISES. >> WE GOT INTO MEDICAL FACILITIES RIGHT AFTER HE'S HE'S OFF WORK NOW BUT DOING WELL.

WHEN YOU RUN INTO A SITUATION LIKE THAT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TRAINING YOU HAVE, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PREPARE FOR SOMEBODY REALLY ASSAULTING YOU WHILE YOU'RE OPERATING A VEHICLE IN MOTION. >> NO ONE INSIDE THE BUILDING WAS HURT, BUT 2 PASSENGERS ON BOARD HAD MINOR INJURIES. >> THE SUSPECT FLED THE SCENE. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY A VERY SHORT TIME LATER. I KNOW HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO AN AREA HOSPITAL TO BE TREATED FOR SOME MINOR INJURIES BEFORE BEING TAKEN TO JAIL. >> WELL, THE CITY SAYS THAT IT'S BEEN LO.
