A Bx10 bus driver was rushed to the hospital last night after the last passenger on his bus threw a "caustic liquid" at his face and ran off. The driver said the two were having a friendly chat about the bus schedule and he didn't suspect a thing. Well, the new bus schedules are pretty enraging! The suspect fled down West 263rd Street and the driver was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center with minor burns to his face and chest. For all you amateur sleuths out there, the suspect was wearing a Derek Jeter jersey, which totally narrows it down.
