TACOMA, Wash. — Pierce County sheriff's deputies are asking for help to identify a man who is suspected of assaulting a Pierce Transit bus driver last week.

Deputies said the suspect got on a bus at 4 p.m. Nov. 13 at South 56th Street and Orchard Street West in Tacoma.

The suspect asked if his friends could ride without paying the required fare and the bus driver said no, which is when the suspect assaulted the driver and got off the bus, according to deputies.

Anyone who's able to ID the man is asked to call the Sheriff's Office.
