Man Sought After Head-Butting Winter Haven Bus (Knocked out, w/vid)

WINTER HAVEN | Police are looking for a man who angrily launched himself head-first into the doors of a bus in Winter Haven on Saturday morning.

Video from Winter Haven police shows a man exiting the bus at the Winter Haven bus terminal, 555 Ave. E. NW, after it made its regular stop about 11:35 a.m.

The man wanted to travel to a new destination, and the bus driver told him he'd have to pay an additional $2 before he could go anywhere else, police spokeswoman Jamie Brown said.

Brown said the passenger became extremely agitated when he realized he had to pay, so the driver locked the bus, exited it and went inside an enclosed part of the bus terminal. The passenger sat on a bench for a couple of minutes before walking away.

About four minutes after he exited the bus, the passenger came back to the bus and butted his head into the glass doors — shattering the glass. The video shows him fall to the ground and stay there as if he's unconscious, but he eventually gets up and runs away.

A video of the incident can be seen at http://theled.gr/CN8.

Brown said she cropped the video to remove the time the man spent stewing on the bench.

Police said the man is black with a slim build and about 5 feet 9 inches tall.

He was wearing slip-on shoes with socks, dark shorts and glasses. His shirt has the words "Ounces 40" on the front.

Brown said police want to arrest him on charges of criminal mischief.

She said he purposely damaged property when he expressed his displeasure by head-butting the bus.

"We hope he is all right," said Brown.

"But he does need to make restitution for what he's done."

Never bring 40 ounces to a 10 ton bus fight.
