Don't Talk To Anyone On the Bus. Ever.

A member of the notorious MS13 gang apparently harrassed a Roosevelt High School student during a bus ride to Balllard last week, a police report says. According to the report, on November 9th, a teenage girl was riding the #48 route from Roosvelt when a man moved from another seat on the bus and sat down next to her. The man asked the girl who old she was, which school she want to, and if she was in a gang, the report says. The man then asked her if she was familar with MS13, Hispanic gang based in Los Angeles, also known as Mara Salvatrucha.

The girl ignored the man until he lifted up his shirt, revealing a black handgun. The man pulled the handgun out and placed it into his backpack, a report says. When the girl tried to get off the bus, the man followed her and, according to the report, "tried to kiss [her] three different times." The girl fought him off, but when the bus stopped, the man grabbed her arm and tried to force her off the bus. The man "wanted her to hangout with he and his "homeboy" for about one hour," the report says.  The girl got off the bus at NW 85th Street and 8th Ave NW in Ballard and the man followed her home. He then fled, the report says.

Three days later, at 8:00 a.m., police were called to the International District after an off-hand conversation on the bus escalated into a brawl. A police report says a man was sitting on the bus when he got into an argument with another rider. A police report provides spotty details about the incident, but says that the victim said "lets not bitch," to another man on the bus. The other man said "you're the bitch" and kept "mouthing off," a police report says.

Both men got off the bus and the second man punched the victim in the arm and fled. Police were not able to locate him.
