   A Metro Transit bus driver who told a fare evading passenger to get off the   
   vehicle was stabbed multiple times with a pen and screwdriver.   
      
   Brandon Collins of Cartersville, Georgia, was charged last Thursday in   
   connection with the incident, after which the 63-year-old bus driver was found   
   covered in blood, with puncture wounds to his hands, arm, leg and torso.   
      
   According to the charges, the 22-year-old Collins ran up to the bus just   
   before 5 a.m. Wednesday at Fifth Street E. and Minnesota Street in downtown   
   St. Paul, screaming for help as the bus' doors closed. The driver opened the   
   doors, and Collins entered    
   without paying. The driver reopened the doors and asked him to get off the bus.

   At that point, the charges state, Collins attacked the man.   
      
   Collins punched the driver repeatedly in the face and head, then stabbed him   
   with a pen and screwdriver, according to the criminal complaint. A witness   
   said Collins was also screaming "hateful words" during the assault.   
      
   St. Paul police were first on the scene, and officers arrived to find Collins   
   still attacking the bus driver; the officers "had to grab the defendant and   
   throw him to the ground to get him to stop," the charges state.   
      
   The driver was "very shaky and looked scared," the complaint notes.   
      
   Officers arrested Collins. They also recovered a pen and screwdriver from the   
   floor of the bus.   
      
   Collins was charged in Ramsey County with second-degree assault with a   
   dangerous weapon, as well as obstructing a transit vehicle involving force or   
   violence. He had his first court appearance Thursday. The court ordered a   
   cognitive impairment and    
   competency to proceed evaluation, according to court records.   
      
   Collins' next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m.
