Police were called to the scene on Main Street around 4:45 p.m., and said the man had been removed from the bus by community safety officers, at which point he wandered into traffic and became combative after safety officers tried to approach him.

The man is accused of assaulting a pair of the safety officers and trying to bite them, although they were able to detain him while waiting for police. Neither officer needed medical attention.

The 29-year-old, who was the subject of an arrest warrant for failing to attend court, now faces two counts of assaulting a peace officer.
