He sprayed his victim with mace and then pulled out a box cutter, slashing the driver repeatedly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, John Phelps was riding the bus that day.&nbsp; A fellow veteran, Phelps came to the aid his driver.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe driver tried to fight him off, but as soon as the driver hit the floor, he started cutting him like some sort of psycho,\u201d Phelps told the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampabay.com\/news\/transportation\/2019\/11\/21\/quick-thinking-veteran-slips-between-bus-driver-and-knife-wielding-attacker\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-bus-driver-carry-work-knife-attack\" title=\"Florida Bus Driver Wants to Carry At Work Following Vicious Knife-Attack\"> Tampa Bay Times<\/a> when recalling the incident.&nbsp; \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of stuff in my life, but I\u2019ve never seen something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phelps assailed Ambrose with a foldable shopping cart and managed to get him away from Prophete and off the bus.&nbsp; Ambrose did take a swipe at Phelps during the confrontation, though he didn\u2019t connect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/new-legislation-would-remove-sbrs-from-nfa\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-bus-driver-carry-work-knife-attack\" title=\"Florida Bus Driver Wants to Carry At Work Following Vicious Knife-Attack\">New Legislation Would Remove SBRs from NFA<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Police would eventually catch Ambrose and charge him with aggravated battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Prophete was taken to a nearby hospital where he underwent emergency surgery for his wounds. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A family member of Prophete couldn\u2019t thank Phelps enough for his quick-thinking during the harrowing encounter. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWere it not for (Phelps) and his willingness to sacrifice his life, we would not be here for my family, Mr. Prophete,\u201d said Abiona Adadevoh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time a driver has been attacked at work.&nbsp; There have been 143 verbal assaults on drivers since 2016 and in the first 10 months of this year, 11 physical assaults, including the tragic death of driver Thomas Dunn who had his throat slit back in May.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transit authority has responded to these safety concerns by installing security cameras, putting shields around the drivers and displaying messages that urge passengers to \u201cride with respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shield installation is an ongoing effort.&nbsp; At the time of the attack, Prophete\u2019s bus did not have one installed.&nbsp; The cost to put in the shields on 180 buses and eight vans is more than $1 million, according to the Tampa Bay Times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s over $5,000 per shield!&nbsp; And, of course, it only protects the driver.&nbsp; Not the passengers, who may be helpless in the face of an attacker. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe shields that we have on the bus, it\u2019s better than nothing,\u201d Prophete said before the board. \u201cWe have to allow the driver to legally \u2014 those who are qualified with licenses \u2014 to protect themselves and protect the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Prophete, Phelps believes more needs to be done to improve safety.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want that safety, you\u2019re going to have to invest,\u201d Phelps said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take more than shields. &#8230; People are going to have to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Florida bus driver who was the victim of a vicious knife attack last month is now asking his bosses to allow him to carry a concealed firearm at work.&nbsp;
