A man was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver on a Bronx MTA bus on Monday afternoon, per the NY Post. The incident occurred when the victim, a 60-year-old man, was playing drums on his lap while riding the Bx22 bus. This reportedly

“ticked off”

the younger man, who then unexpectedly stabbed the victim. 

A witness, who happened to be near a store, heard the commotion coming from the bus.

“I was standing in the front of the store. I see that the bus stopped and there were people coming out of the bus and people screaming, saying that someone got stabbed,”

she said.

“I went inside of the bus and I see that he was bleeding. I came down to the store, grabbed some paper to bring them out. And [people were] just telling me that a guy with a screwdriver cut the guy in the head.”

A pool of blood could be seen on the bus floor, after the attack.

“He was bleeding a lot. He was bleeding like crazy and he was talking,”

the witness said.

“People were asking him how old he was because they were calling the ambulance. And he was like conscious of what was happening.”

According to police, the injured man was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital and is in stable condition. The attacker, who is believed to be in his 20s, fled the scene and has not been apprehended yet.
