OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Just one day after an Ohio bus driver claimed his pocked-sized Bible saved him from a close-range shooting, another bus driver was brutally beaten in Olympia, Wash.
Police said that an angry man on an Intercity Transit bus began threatening passengers on a route in west Olympia.

When the driver asked the man to quiet down or leave the bus, the man began hitting and punching the driver.
"You bleeding? Is that real blood? Let me taste it," he said.
The attacker eventually left the bus, and was found hours later at a downtown transit center. Police have charged him with third-degree assault.
The driver was treated at the hospital and released.
