Cops hunt villain who threatened MTA bus driver with a gun in the Bronx
Police are looking for a man who threatened an MTA bus driver with a gun in the Bronx while donned in a creepy 'Chucky' sweatshirt, and are asking the public's help in finding him.
A 37-year-old driver was behind the wheel of the BX41 bus around 1 p.m. on April 19 when the man got onto the bus at E. 170th St. and Webster Ave. in Mott Haven — and started arguing with the driver before pulling out a gun and threatening her with it, cops said.
After the frightening threat, the man suddenly ran off in an unknown direction.
Cops released a picture of the man, who was wearing a sweatshirt depicting the grotesque killer clown doll from the 'Chuckie' movies and sunglasses during the altercation, and appears to have dreadlocks.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
