Disturbing Surveillance Video Shows Teen Sucker-Punching, Knocking Bus Driver Unconscious

Teen Punches, Knocks Kansas City Bus Driver Unconscious

Photo Credit: YouTube

Shocking surveillance video from a Kansas City Metro bus shows what appears to be a teenager violently attacking a driver. As a stream of individuals walk off of the public bus, a young man can be seen among those exiting unexpectedly sucker-punching the 54-year-old bus operator in the face. The bizarre footage, which was captured on October 1, has officially gone viral.

Following the incident, Kansas City Police posted the disturbing video on its official YouTube channel, where it has already brought in more than 500,000 views. Authorities are in search of the young man shown in the clip and are asking anyone with potential information about the incident to come forward.

“Please help us identify the man that assaulted a bus driver on October 1, 2012 at around 9:00 p.m. He suffered from serious injuries and was knocked unconscious,” reads the description that accompanies the clip.

According to The Kansas City Star, the driver apparently tried to continue on his route after the attack, but he knocked over some orange cones and was disoriented. Bus riders then successfully convinced him to stop driving.

The video does not include audio, so there is no way of knowing exactly what was said between the driver and the individual, who police claim looks to be in his late teens. According to The Huffington Post, it appears the young man didn’t pay bus fare when he got on board; the punch was thrown while he was exiting.

Police say tips are already coming in and they are hopeful they’ll be able to find the individual responsible.

one of the attributes to the sodomites (other than the obvious) in the bible was they were violent. When you see these things coming on the earth look up for your redemption draws nigh.

  Statutoryape, it means that valueless tolerance of all things gets you where we are today. We are not living better, more tranquil lives by not confronting and condemning the misfits among us. We have gotten to where the misfits are turned into heros and normal well adjusted respectful people are denigrated and unprotected. Also note that this is the same offense that Trayvon Martin was accused of. The company that employed the bus driver (that Trayvon attacked) decided not to press charges. The culture in the black urban communities is devoid of honor, integrity, good character, self reliance, and those principles are no longer revered as the ideal and are as foreign to them as being able to speak Finnish.

I knew before looking also. Whenever you see “teen” or “youth” in an article, it is just media code-word for black.

THANKYOU VETS

He is the product of a society without compassion or morals.
He apparently thinks the bus driver deserved a smack in the head because the bus driver had something he did not……. A JOB
Self derserving SOB listened to his almighty master and followed the orders of OBAMA
“We must PUNISH our enemies.” but Obama forgot “socieoeconomic” so the youth just think…..
GET WHITEY
He is the KING OF Devisive Speech

Obama October 25, 2010
“‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,”

Living in KC, this is very troubling. The area of the city in which this took place is already known as one of the worst in the state of Missouri: http://www.kansascity.com/murderfactory/
I’ve lived in the KC Metro area all my life, and it’s truly sad to see what some areas of this City are becoming. While it is true, Obama and his minions have the nation on the complete wrong track, and charity is up to each of us instead of the Government, I just don’t see things changing fast. Certainly not until the mindset of individuals like this criminal are changed somehow.

I would bet all they would have to do is find out what computers or devices were the top 10 for traffic hits of the video on youtube and the animal that punched the driver would be linked to one of those as I am sure he probably watched it over and over.

This makes me sick. He’s an older man so I guess that makes him vulnerable to these thugs and you can see it takes a little time for him to recover. You see someone approach later but it doesn’t seem to be anyone interested in helping. This is one reason I will never take public transport.

  If Agenda 21 gets enforced full force, that’s all we’ll have is public transportation. Unless you live in the ‘burbs, then you’ll be on your own hoofin it to the city.

Yeah, that is the latest gag. Obama gets elected so the little black punks think it’s open season on the snowman. And from their perspective, they have been given the green light by Holder. Sucker punching an old man when he isn’t looking. Now THAT’S bravery. If the races had been reversed, you would see helicopter gunships with SWAT goons decending from the skys to catch the perps. But, since it’s whitey, Pfftt……who cares.

  True! Jesse and Al would be there, and Eric Holder (I like to call him sloth cuz he looks like one.) would be prosecuting for civil rights infringement and hate crimes.

I’m 49. Remember when you were a teen and your parents said, “..kids these days, don’t have any respect…”. My dad would’ve whooped my arse if I ever spoke ill of someone behind their back or to their face. Hunt this little piece of crap down and throw him in the clink. Democrat punk.

  They’re not raising their kids, they are expecting unionized government employees, video games, TV and the internet to raise them. That’s the whole problem.
