Police said a man approached the bus and assaulted the driver with a large rock at about 2:20 p.m. at the corner of 3rd and T streets.

The driver had the presence of mind to close the door and begin to pull away. He called police and was transported to an area hospital, where he received stitches on his face.

The attacker never said anything, according to police. Investigators said the man picked up another rock to throw before the driver pulled away.
