Detroit Man Charged In Attack On DDOT Bus Driver
Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy has charged Willie DeQuan Lindsey, 34 (DOB: 3/33/1982), of Detroit, in connection with stabbing a Detroit Department of Transportation bus driver. On November 29, 2016 at approximately 10:30 p.m., it is alleged that Lindsey got on a Detroit Department of Transportation bus at McNichols and Greenfield when he is alleged to have demanded to be transported to a local hospital by the 51-year-old male bus driver. When the driver did not take him to the hospital, it is alleged that Lindsey cut the driver’s left cheek with a knife. Passengers on the bus restrained Lindsey until the police arrived and arrested him. The bus driver was taken to a local hospital and was treated for his injuries.
