Police spoke to the man, a Providence resident. He said he works as a custodian at a business in town and a night earlier he had been waiting for the bus to get a ride home and the bus sped past the stop.
Police also spoke to the bus driver. There had allegedly been a small altercation between the two individuals. No one was charged.
The Providence man’s supervisor at work stopped by and gave the man a ride home.
