SERVICE, HOW DO YOU SAFEGUARD YOUR DRIVERS? THIS VIDEO, RELEASED BY EMBARK WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SHOWS THE MOMENT A CUSTOMER ATTACKS A BUS DRIVER. SECONDS LATER THE BUS CRASHES INTO THE BRITISH AREA. THE OPERATOR IS DOING FINE, APPARENTLY THERE HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, SOME HOLDS AND DRAWS. WE TOOK HIM TO THE MEDICAL FACILITIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND NOW HE IS OUT OF WORK BUT DOING FINE. HERE THE SUSPECT WANTED TO GET OFF THE TRAIN TRACKS. AND THEY ATTACKED EACH OTHER WHEN THE BUS DRIVER SAID NO. IT REINFORCES THAT AS AN ORGANIZATION WE MUST CONTINUE TO TRAIN AS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND TRY TO PREPARE OUR TRANSIT PROFESSIONALS FOR THESE SITUATIONS WHEN POSSIBLE, SAYS EMBARK. THEY ARE ADDING MORE SAFETY TRAINING, INCLUDING A FOCUS ON DE-ESCALATION. THEY WILL WORK WITH MULTIPLE SECURITY AGENCIES TO MAKE THEIR RESPONSE FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENT AND DANGEROUS SCENARIOS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREPARE FOR SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY ATTACK YOU WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE IN MOTION, SO FROM THIS CHAP. AS BAD AS THE DISASTER LOOKED, EVERYONE ON THE BUS WAS FINE, AS WERE EVERYONE IN BRITAIN

Video released by Embark on Wednesday afternoon shows the moment a customer assaults a bus driver. Seconds later, the bus crashed into a business in the Britton District. “The operator is doing well. There were obvious bumps and bruises, he was immediately taken to the medical facilities. He is now out of work but doing well,” said Embark director Jason Ferbrahe. The suspect wanted to get off the bus on those tracks and attacked when the driver said no. “It reinforces the fact that as an organization we need to continue to train as we have in the past and try to prepare our transit professionals for these situations as best we can,” Ferbrahe said. Embark says they are adding more safety training, including an emphasis on de-escalation. They will work with several safety agencies to make their response faster and more effective in dangerous scenarios. “It’s very difficult to prepare for someone to actually attack you while you’re driving a moving vehicle,” Ferbrahe said. “From that perspective, I think the operator did as well as any of us can expect.”>> Download the KOCO 5 App As bad as this crash looked, everyone on the bus was fine.
