A Chicago man was charged with battery and aggravated battery to a transit authority after beating a passenger and a bus driver on a CTA bus with a bag of frozen chicken, authorities said
Caleb Russell, 27, tried to flirt with a woman who did not reciprocate his attention, DNAinfo reports. He responded by attacking her with a bag of frozen chicken. The bus driver stopped the vehicle and tried to intervene, so Russell redirected his attack to the bus driver, who suffered a broken nose and jaw and lost a tooth.
Russell has run into trouble on public transit before: In 2014, he was arrested for making a false bomb threat on a bus.
