34 bus

I ride that route daily from the mall and have seen fights, drunks and punks but I never have seen a transit cop on the bus!

Thank you for posting

Just drove by this and first thought was to check UH. Glad it's not life threatening.

I did the same I drove by and checked twitter and found out what happened. The had a man in custody on the back of a cruiser as I drove by.
