Maquel Donyel Morris is accused of attacking a Greyhound driver in Arizona early Thursday, causing the bus to careen into a median, injuring dozens. He has previously been in the news for attacking a 91 year old White woman in 2010. ‘The aggravated assault against the [victim] was so serious in nature that she had numerous facial bones that were broken’
Dozens were injured early Thursday when a crazed man attacked the driver of a Greyhound bus, causing it to smash into a median in the middle of the Arizona desert.

Police say Maquel Donyel Morris, 25, was ‘very high’ when he assaulted the driver before 2am near Tonopah and nearly caused the bus to swerve into oncoming traffic on Interstate 10 as he screamed, ‘I’m gonna flip this bus!’

Three of the 41 passengers had to be airlifted from the scene after Morris very nearly accomplished his goal before running off into the desert with his girlfriend only to return 30 minutes later.

That’s when Arizona authorities placed him under arrest.

Dozens were injured and three had to be airlifted from the side of I-10 after the bus smashed into the median

‘He was hallucinating … we believe he was very high,’ Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves told the LA Times.

According to Graves, Morris’s girlfriend informed police Graves was under the influence of methamphetamine.

Despite all his efforts, the bus remained upright and none of the 24 people taken to hospitals had life-threatening injuries, the DPS said.

Passengers say that’s thanks in large part to the efforts of the as yet unnamed driver, who at no point in the terrifying ordeal took his hands off the steering wheel.

While he was being pummeled, the driver called for passengers to ‘get this guy off me,’ passenger Gregory Forte told KNXV.

‘The passengers descended on him,’ DPS spokesman Bart Graves told The Associated Press.

'They're gonna kill me! Call my mom' Morris fled into the desert wilds with his girlfriend before returning 30 minutes later. That's when police arrested him and his bizarre state of mind became all too apparent
‘They’re gonna kill me! Call my mom’ Morris fled into the desert wilds with his girlfriend before returning 30 minutes later. That’s when police arrested him and his bizarre state of mind became all too apparent.

The injuries included a broken sternum suffered by one of the passengers who helped restrain the attacker, said DPS Officer Carrick Cook, another DPS spokesman.

The attacker and his female companion got off the bus when it stopped and fled into the desert wilds 50 miles outside Phoenix.

Thirty minutes later, the couple returned for unknown reasons and the suspect was arrested by highway patrol.

The girlfriend told azfamily.com that he was ‘paranoid’ and ‘did not want to be on the bus.’

As he was hauled away in a police car, Morris continued his frightening behavior.

‘They’re going to kill me,’ he screamed from the back of the car to his girlfriend. ‘Call my mom!’

Morris was taken to a hospital for treatment of a drug-induced condition and was expected to be booked on suspicion of numerous counts of endangerment, assault and aggravated assault, the DPS said.
