JP Patafio, a longtime union leader for Brooklyn bus drivers, said both encounters highlight the risks bus operators face when dealing with unruly riders.

No one was ever arrested in the incident. The 2007 attack ended with Henry being treated at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center after the man jabbed his left shoulder and abdomen and fled the bus. The next thing he knew, the man “stepped up to me and started talking, and all of a sudden, he started stabbing at me.” Support us by subscribing today: The Vancouver Sun | The Province.Members and sponsors make THE CITY possible.
