An East San Diego County man says he'll never set foot on a trolley again after he suffered multiple facial fractures in an attack by a belligerent passenger.
"I knew there were sketchy people and it wasn’t, like, the safest thing to do, but I never expected to pretty much have my face broken," Logan Nelson said.
"A couple orbital fractures, a broken nose and a few fractures of my maxilla," Nelson said running through the list of his injuries. He hit me right here , then he hit me right here again. Although this one did the most damage."Nelson was on his ride home when a man seated across from him was yelling profanities while on his cell phone. An on-trolley security guard warned the passenger to keep quiet, and he asked the guard who he was bothering. Nelson spoke up.
He said the next thing he remembers is someone helping him off the trolley at the Lemon Grove Depot. An ambulance took him to a nearby hospital from there. MTS spokesperson Mark Olson said they are listening. The board recently approved the hiring of 34 new security officers for a total of 90. There are another 200 members of the private security company hired to help."The gentleman was not escorted off the trolley, so I feel like this 100% could have been prevented," Heather Kacsure said. “They need to take a good hard look at how they are spending their money and the security company firm that they’ve hired.
