We’ve all been there, but this guy simply was having it on his bus ride.
A Florida man reportedly cold cocked another man on the bus — after the rider “yawned his awful” breath in the man’s face without regard according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Chester Harris later told officers he felt disrespected. About 9:45 a.m. Aug. 14, he said, a man seated near him on a Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority bus yawned and failed to cover his mouth. The man’s breath stank, Harris said, so he asked him to cover his mouth. The man cursed out Harris in return, police said.
So Harris, 53, of St. Petersburg reared back and punched the fellow passenger, according to an arrest report. The other man sustained a bloody nose, but officers wrote that Harris said he “got what he deserved.”
Harris is facing battery charges that probably should be dismissed considering the circumstances.
