Transit Police report arresting a Dedham man they say screamed racial epithets at a Route 30 driver and then threw a rock at him, hitting him, after the guy was kicked off the bus for not paying his fare Saturday afternoon.

Daniel Moreno, 21, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for the incident, shortly before 5 p.m.

Police say officers arrested him yesterday.

Innocent, etc.

The MBTA police have a police station at Mattapan were officers at the station when the driver was attacked?Why did the police wait so long to arrest him? Shouldn't he be charged with civil rights crimes?

Daniel Moreno should be tried and charged with both assault

with a deadly weapon (i. e. a rock), and a civil rights violation. That's only fair.

Looks like more money will have to be spent on...

The "Don't Touch the Drivers" campaign, as if not enough money has been squandered already. Wish thy'd throw the book as this moron, but he'll probably get a slap on the wrist like everyone else and be released back into the streets...

Please

No charges were brought against Mr Moreno for murdering the hedgehog that sits on his head?
