I've been a lurker for quite some time but only created an account some time ago so I can finally tell a few stories of mine, even though this one was not a 'real' encounter with me per se..
About 5-6 years ago when I was 16/17 I was taking the bus to my mom's workplace to pick her up and help bring home groceries (I live in a big city, so public transportation is all you really need here) but she works in a pretty shady neighborhood and it doesn't help that the busses around 7pm were always pretty empty.
I was sitting in one of the back rows, listening to music, with only 4-5 other people on the bus, when I noticed a guy who got on the bus. He was behaving odd, mumbling to himself and seemed to be swatting at things that weren't really there. The bus driver noticed his behaviour as well, waited a few seconds, as if he were judging if he should get this guy off the bus ASAP or not, but apparently thought he was ok as he then took off.
It didn't take long to notice that this guy was either on drugs, or mentally instable, because his mumbling kept getting louder until I actually heard it over my music. I then saw how, from behind (I was sitting in the back on the right side, he was in the middle by the door on the left side), it looked like he was scratching himself somewhere down in his crotch area while staring at a woman a few rows up and looking back towards me every now and then.
It didn't take me long to realize that that was definitely NOT scratching, and the woman he was staring at finally looked at him, and screamed, as she saw that he was apparently jerking off right there in that row.
The bus driver decided it was finally time to intervene before things got worse, so he pulled over, got out of his booth right when the guy finished (mhm disgusting) and wanted to throw him off the bus.
Suddenly the guy started to scream himself, leapt on top of his seat, and jumped over multiple seats towards the back with his dick still hanging out of his pants. I was absolutely horrified and kinda just backed up into the corner of my seat while the bus driver, and the other two males on the bus, tried to catch this guy. I don't know what kind of drugs this guy could've been on, but the 3 of them had a hard time catching him, even though he was pretty scrawny. The guy was jumping over multiple rows and even grabbed the emergency hammer and tried to bust the window with it. Before he could do it, the bus driver finally got a good grip of him and yanked him back into the aisle and dragged him to the spot where you normally have the wheelchairs/biked and pinned him down.
I was ordered to call the police and it didn't take long for them to arrive and take him with them (even though he put up quite a fight as well). The bus driver sighed, looked at the mess the guy left on the seat, cleaned it and took off again muttering something along the line of "f***ing lateshift..."
(English isn't my first language, so sorry for any mistakes! Looking back to it I can kinda laugh about it (especially about him hopping around with his dick out), I mean the guy seemed to be harmless, didn't want to attack anyone, but it's still...)
