In February 2010, Thomas Bruso was featured in a YouTube video where he gets into a verbal confrontation with a black man on a bus. (See AC Transit Bus Fight for additional videos and information.) The argument escalates and the visibly older ‘beard man’ then moves to the front of the bus. Bruso shouts that he is a 67-year-old man. The younger black man in the video then follows him to the front and throws a punch. In response, the ‘beard man” beats the man to a bloody pulp. After being punched numerous times by the beard man, the younger man shouts “I will f— you up.” The woman recording the incident then takes the “beard man”s bag. The video was recorded by a woman named Iyanna Washington, who claims she never stole the “beard man”s bag, which she can be seen taking in the video.
