Moon Bus Driver: Student Attacked Me With Spray
MOON TOWNSHIP (KDKA) ―
A bus driver for the Moon School District says he was attacked.
Rick Yeck says on Wednesday afternoon, a group of 14-year-olds started spraying a body spray on the bus and as they got off the bus, one student hit him with it in the face.
An ambulance had to be called and Yeck was hospitalized following an asthma attack.
Yeck believes the plan was to light the spray and burn him with it. While police can't prove the fireball theory, they did charge a 14-year-old middle school student with assault.
The entire incident was caught on school bus cameras and when school administrators saw the tape, they suspended the student, who also faces assault charges as a juvenile.
In the meantime, Yeck quit his job and will now drive a big rig instead, saying he'd much rather deal with road rage than middle school students on a bus.
