FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) -
Don't mess with a city of Fresno bus driver, especially if he or she is armed with mace.
On Friday, a bus driver told a rider to
get off the bus because he didn't have money to pay for the ride, and that's where the real
trouble started.
"He came right back around to the
front of the bus banging his fists together angry and agitated, and he
charged the bus driver," Fresno Police Lt. Burke Farrah said.
So the driver pepper sprayed him, but the passenger still didn't stop.
"He was so
angry and so furious that he took his fist and smashed the front window
of the bus," Farrah said.
The man tried to get bus fare from other
riders, but it didn't work.
Crews took him to a mental care facility, and he's looking at assault and vandalism charges.
