There are a lot of movies with the plot of a hidden master, where a martial arts expert, who seems ordinary from the outside, walks amongst normal people, only to be targeted by attackers. Then the expert uses his skill to outclass the attacker and defeat them. We tend to think that such things only happen in movies. However, such an incident from an old video clip has resurfaced on the internet where a bus driver was attacked by a passenger and the bus driver channeled his ‘inner Mike Tyson‘ to quickly take care of the situation.
In a post by Boxing Kingdom, the video of a bus driver beating down a passenger who attacked him has taken the boxing world by storm. In the video, the bus driver is seen pointing toward the back of the bus. The passenger then throws three punches at him continuously before the bus driver could comprehend what was going on.
But the driver is able to easily take those punches and manages to bring the passenger under control with just a single punch. He then proceeds to rain a flurry of punches with all his rage and fury. He then takes the passenger out and throws another punch at him, dropping him immediately.
