Original story:<\/strong>
\nPolice are asking for the help of the public in finding a man who brutally attacked another passenger as they both were exiting a Montebello bus March 12.
\nAccording to police and bus surveillance video, the suspect punched the victim in the back of the head as he got off the bus, knocking the victim unconscious. The attacker then kicked the man three times before walking away.
\n“The suspect appears to be in his mid to late 20\u2019s, medium build with a goatee. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue khaki pants and a black backpack. Please also listen to the voice of the suspect at the beginning of the video,” Montebello police said in a post published May 2 on their facebook page in a plea for help in identifying the suspect.<\/a>
\nSMART Transportation Division represents bus operators and mechanics employed by Montebello Bus Lines in Local 1701 in Montebello, California.
\nThe assailant could have easily turned and assaulted the bus operator as well, which is why SMART TD supports H.R. 1139 \u2013 the Transit Worker and Pedestrian Protection Act, which would protect bus operators from violent incidents like this one.
