Foreigner Assaults Bus Driver, Grabs Steering Wheel in Chengdu

Foreigner Assaults Bus Driver, Grabs Steering Wheel in Chengdu
Aug 28, 2014 By eChinacities.com

A foreign national was caught on camera in Chengdu attempting to grab the steering wheel of a moving bus, then hitting a bus driver, because he missed his stop.

According to the driver, Yang, the man, who he described as around 30 years old, tall, thin and blond, was a nuisance from the start; when he got onto the bus he paid using only 2 mao instead of the usual 2 RMB fare. When Yang protested, he apparently didn’t understand.

A while later, he came to the front of the bus, having missed his stop. He wanted Yang to stop the bus, and requested so in magically remembered Chinese. Yang refused, and the man then yelled, “I want to get off! If you won’t open the door, then you are wrong!”, before proceeding to start hitting random buttons behind the wheel. When that failed to open the door, he tried to grab the wheel from Yang, whilst the bus was still going, and wrestled with Yang until the next stop.

Before getting off at the correct stop, the man hit Yang on the head, just to be extra douchey.

Yang had this to say: “He was very rude, and had no awareness of public safety. Whilst the blow didn’t hurt, it was a little insulting.”

Ive traveled in city buses in 6 different countries including China, and I have to say in general that Chinese bus drivers are the biggest arse-holes. Glad to see someone put them straight. As we all KNOW, there are 2 sides to a story. I bet this driver is the real azzwipe.

No there is only one side to this story. There's camera footage of this incident. The camera never lies. I'll admit that school bus drivers seem to be curmudgeonly but who can blame them? Having to deal with annoying kids all day will wear on a person. Regular bus drivers seem pretty harmless to me.

The build of this guy indicates he is Asian. I have seen quite a few Asian guys coloring their hair. Do you really think a Western guy would grab the steering wheel of a bus,drunk or not? Nor do western guys act as childish as he did. But then again, I have heard the schools are recruiting 22 year old guys fresh out of university. Some of them are of Asian descent.

BAD foreigner. BAAAAAD foreigner. We will all have to leave China now. It is well known that all foreigners want to do this because we are all bad people who have no self-control, and are deluded that we are GODS who should be obeyed. Of course Chinese people are paragons of behaviour and are being corrupted by our influence. LOL

bus driver sounds like a good guy. Might want to get his eyes checked though. not really blonde... I'm guessing the person was drunk, which helps the dickishness to be set free.
