A Winnipeg bus driver was attacked early Thursday morning near Cavalier Drive and Hamilton Avenue, police say.
Officers were called to the scene around 1 a.m., where they found and arrested a suspect nearby. A search turned up a small utility knife, police said.
Police allege the man had been causing a disturbance on the bus before threatening and physically assaulting the driver — who only had minor injuries from the incident and didn’t need medical care.
A 38-year-old suspect has been charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, possessing a weapon and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
He remains in custody.
