An unsuspecting bus driver was chopped as he let off a passenger. Late last week, twenty-five-year-old Arnulfo Muñoz, a resident of Armenia was transporting employees from Santander Factor to the village of Amentia on the Hummingbird Highway. Munoz claims that around mile fifty, one of his fares asked to be let off near the Funez Bar on the highway.  The man, who is not known to Munoz, proceeded to chop him on the face before rushing off the bus. Assistant Commissioner of Police Joseph Myvett says that Muñoz lost his right eye as a result of the chopping.
