Muni rider pulls out Taser, spouts anti-Asian slurs at teen [Video]

A 14-year-old student said he witnessed a disturbing incident on a Muni bus last Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco.

The teen said a male passenger went on a racist rant and pulled out a Taser on a bus filled with people.

Soon after boarding the 29 bus on his way home from Lowell High School, the Vietnamese-American student stood just a few feet away from a man sitting at the back of the bus.

“He was screaming multiple racial slurs against Asians using the ‘C’ slur. He said things like ‘these people are ruining America, and they should go back to their country,’ “said the teen. “I felt pretty shocked, but at the same time, I felt pretty fearful. I didn’t want to do something that would trigger him or offend him.”

The student said a Latina teenager and a young Caucasian woman tried to intervene, and the situation escalated.
