BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) – Police are on the hunt for a man accused of stabbing another man with a screwdriver on a Bronx bus Monday afternoon.
The attack happened on the Bx22 bus in Fordham Center around 2 p.m., according to authorities. The victim, 60-year-old Derick Gardner, told PIX11 News that the suspect was sitting next to him.
Gardner said the man was annoyed by his humming of a church song and became aggressive.
"He's all in my face with it," Gardner said. "Next thing you know, that's when he started attacking me with a screwdriver."
