Teens arrested after bus driver attacked, bus damaged

Police arrested three juvenile males Sunday afternoon for allegedly attacking a bus driver and damaging a bus in the Hawaii Kai area after the driver told them to stop eating.

Police said the three boys — two 15-year-olds and one 16 — were asked by a bus operator to stop eating on his bus. When the boys refused, the bus driver asked them to leave the bus.

An argument followed and the boys allegedly attacked the driver. Two of the suspects also damaged the bus door and a window before fleeing on foot. The bus driver realized his identification card was missing.

Police were summoned and three youths were found, one carrying the bus driver’s identification card.

The three boys face charges of interference with the operator of a public transit vehicle, unauthorized possession of personal information and  fourth-degree criminal property damage.
