Police have arrested a man they say punched and kicked a 78-year-old RTC bus driver in Sparks late Monday morning.
Police say onboard video shows 28-year-old Ryan Mastelotto punching and then kicking the bus driver near Glendale Avenue and Linda Way.
The suspect was later found near the RTC station in Reno and arrested.
The unidentified bus driver was transported to a nearby hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Mastelotto was then booked into the Washoe County Jail for Battery on a Protected Person Causing Substantial Bodily Harm.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County said it is working with local law enforcement on this case and thanks the combined efforts of all agencies involved in the arrest of the suspect.
