Teens beat up bus driver in St. Paul
Last update: July 16, 2008 - 12:53 AM
A Metro Transit bus driver was hospitalized after he was beaten by a group of teenagers Tuesday evening in downtown St. Paul. Metro Transit spokesman Bob Gibbons said the driver was assaulted by six to eight teenagers on Robert Street between 4th and 5th Streets as his bus was arriving downtown. Gibbons said the driver called the operations center at about 9:20 p.m. and asked for help because he had “a group of kids acting up on the bus.” He called back later a short time later to report that he had been attacked. The driver was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. The bus was on Route 68, which runs primarily on Robert Street south of downtown, Gibbons said. No arrests have been reported as of early today.
NOTE: I was just down at that Bus Stop last week during jury duty. I shook my head at the large number of teens around with nothing to do but get in trouble their whole lives.
It used to be that Scott County and the area south and east of Burnsville were pretty safe. Last time I was there, a hooded Muslim woman ran my credit card at the Holiday Inn at 42 and 35 and the shopping center was overrun with non English speakers. What are they doing in MN ?
