A San Francisco bus driver was attacked this week by a miniature souvenir baseball bat-wielding passenger who became irate when he was told he had to wear a mask, reports said.
The attacker was one of a group of three maskless men who boarded the Muni city bus Wednesday in the city’s SoMa district.
Passengers are required to wear face coverings on San Francisco’s public transit, and the driver instructed the trio multiple times to put on the required face coverings, but they refused, officials said.
The driver then pulled over to escort the riders off, when one of the three attacked him with the mini bat, according to reports.
The driver’s injuries were not life threatening and he is recovering, police said. A union rep told local TV station KTVU, that the victim had a fractured finger, and was also spat on.
No arrests have been made.
In the Big Apple, a passenger hit a driver Monday after being told he needed to wear a mask. The man punched the 62-year-old driver and then got off the bus on the Lower East Side.
