A bus driver is being monitored for Ebola symptoms after a passenger traveling on his service told him that he had the deadly virus.
The driver was taken into isolation in Los Angeles, California on Monday after a masked passenger leaned in to him when he boarded the bus and said: 'Don't mess with me, I have Ebola.'
The man, who was with an unmasked woman, then walked to the rear of the bus while the driver called emergency responders who directed him to continue on his normal route.
A few minutes later, the man threw his mask to the floor and fled the bus. The driver then ordered passengers, who were none the wiser, from the vehicle.
The incident, which took place on Monday afternoon, was believed to be a hoax but the driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution and the bus cleaned by a hazmat crew.
The passenger has not been identified but the LA County Sheriff's office told MailOnline today that it is looking at the incident as a possible terror threat and reviewing surveillance tapes.
The man managed to escape from the bus traveling along Venice Boulevard.

Hoax? At least $10000 flushed down the toilet on this hoax...if it is a hoax
Terrorist charges ???
I am sure the driver got the names and addresses of all passengers. They will be placed on quarantine soon for 21 days as a safety precaution.
thanks I needed a chuckle
BTTT.
The go’s really needs to swoop in and take conto of everything, lock down ...for our safety, of course ...
Oh cut it out with the “terrorist” meme.
Everything is labelled terror since 9/11. Yet 95% of the labels do not come anywhere close.
Even if the guy had Ebola, more likely it’s just reckless endangerment or some such.
As it is, likely it’s a jackass wreaking havoc because he thinks it’s funny.
Land of the free. Home of the brave ...
/SARC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything’s possible but that sounds to be the most likely explanation. Watch for a lot of ebola hoaxes.
But, chopping people's heads off while yelling Allah Akbar doesn't count as a terror threat.
Obama Ebola, Mmmm! Mmmm! Mmmm!
are go’s similar to not-sees
Not if he is a muzzie.
Many doctors and nurses (including quite a few here) have commented their intentions around the Net to bail out, if Ebola spreads in our country. It’s time for plans to recruit and train young men for a medic corps to replace the medical racket or pay the consequences later (see Africa’s late recruiting and training of real men after medical establishment failures).
