Transit police are searching for a passenger accused of repeatedly punching a Metrobus driver last week.
The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, which represents about 8,000 D.C.-area transit workers, posted video of the incident on social media.
The footage shows a verbal exchange between the driver and a passenger before the rider reaches around the operator鈥檚 protective shield and punches him multiple times.
In a statement, the union said the partial shield 鈥渄id nothing鈥� to protect the driver.
WMATA says the operator suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was treated after the attack.
The incident remains under investigation and Metro says it is continuing efforts to equip buses with full protective shields.
