The incident happened in the morning hours of Sunday, Jan. 7. Police say the suspect boarded a Rapid Bus in the area of 28th Street SE and Kalamazoo Avenue SE. He did not have money or a bus pass, so he was denied entry.

Police say the suspect then assaulted the bus driver physically and threatened the driver with a weapon before fleeing on foot.

The suspect is described as a white male. He is about 5’8” tall and weighs around 160 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 616-456-3380 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.
