FTA:

“I caught hell in the depot the next day,” DeShields, 38, said, on a day off from his regular 4:30 p.m.-to-2:05 a.m. shift. “My coworkers were laughing and teasing me, saying, ‘We heard you were Batman."

"He noted, “I’ll get my revenge.”

Lol, dude's hilarious, and also a hero. We need more guys like this. Saves the day, then gets back on the bus and does his job.

"With the danger over, he said, he stepped down from the bus for a minute to ask people in a bar to watch the woman until she was able to get help. And then he got back in and continued the route “to get my passengers home.”

Also DeShields is an appropriate name for someone who steps up to shield a woman from criminals when she's in danger.
