The Dallas Police Department has released a photo to the public seeking assistance in identifying a man accused of assaulting a school bus driver earlier this month.
The assault occurred around 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1, in the 9300 block of Skillman Street.
Danny Senkow, 72, reported to Dallas Police and NBC 5 that he was on his usual after-school route for Richardson ISD when the children on board became unruly.
Unable to proceed safely, Senkow pulled over the bus to address the situation.
According to Senkow, a man believed to be a parent approached the school bus and forcibly entered, leading to a physical altercation with the driver.
“We had a fight there right in the bus,” Senkow stated. “I used my leg to try to push him out of the bus. And that was a bad maneuver because he grabbed onto my left ankle and pulled me out of the bus, down the stairs, out to the sidewalk.”
The attacker fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
The incident remains under investigation, and anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Jeffrey Coleman #9976 at 214-671-3636 or via email at Jeffrey.coleman@dallaspolice.gov.
