Drunk Guy Mocks Old Lady on the Bus and Grabs Her Purse, Teen Boy Decides to Interfere — Story of the Day
A young teen gave a brilliant reply to two drunk men after they threatened an old lady on the bus and tried to drag her out of her seat.
It had been a typical day in Ashmont, Massachusetts, except that the bus that Mrs. Hudson often took was more packed than usual; all of the seats were taken. But this did not deter the new passengers who boarded the bus at the first stop, making it appear even more crowded.
