Man accused of grabbing steering wheel of moving bus is charged

A 43-year-old homeless man, accused of grabbing the steering wheel of a moving bus in downtown Honolulu, was charged Thursday night with interfering with a bus driver.

Prosecutors charged Erik D. McHenry, who has no local address, with interference of an operator of a public transit vehicle.

At about noon Wednesday, police said McHenry grabbed and jerked the wheel of bus, causing the bus to veer into the next lane near the intersection of South Beretania Street and Queen Emma Street. The bus driver regained control of the wheel, bringing it safely to a stop.

McHenry’s bail is set at $11,000.
