MILWAUKIE, Ore. (AP) — Several passengers on a Portland, Ore.-area transit bus helped restrain a man accusing of roughing up the bus driver.
Milwaukie, Ore. police Officer Ulli Neitch says witnesses describe a man who was screaming while waiting for a TriMet bus Wednesday afternoon. He began barking orders once on the bus, stormed to the front and began harassing and shoving the driver as the bus traveled along a busy street.
Former Marine Derek Kamahoahoa tells the Oregonian he had just moved up near the driver when the agitated man turned and grabbed him. Kamahoahoa says he grabbed and held the man. Fellow passengers Gerald Menefee and Malcolm Vancouvering helped hold the man until police arrived.
No passengers were injured.
Milwaukie police arrested Jeffrey Todd Pavey for investigation of disorderly conduct, harassment and reckless endangerment.
