'I Knew I Needed to Keep Him Calm' | METRO Bus Operator Helps Carjacking Victim

METRO bus operator Debbie Ramos says she immediately stopped her bus when she saw a distressed man running for help. The man, who was not a METRO customer, turned out to be wounded in a carjacking, and Debbie was prepared to give him a safe space and call for medical care. Thank you, Debbie!
