Bus driver roughed up

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin police have released security video in the search for a passenger seen punching and roughing up a bus driver before allegedly trying to rob him.

Sgt. Brian Miller says the Capital Metro driver suffered facial injuries June 10 in an apparent fight over why the bus did not stop at a place where the passenger wanted to get off.
Police say the man waited until other passengers departed before slugging the driver, throwing him to the bus floor and going through his pockets.
The bus surveillance video was released Wednesday, as police seek the public's help in identifying the man wanted on assault and attempted robbery charges. The company that employs the driver, Veolia Transportation, is offering a $5,000 reward for information
