What are the details?
An unnamed 16-year-old teenager called her 17-year-old brother and told him that an elderly man sexually assaulted her on a bus. The teen said that the man — later identified as Michael Fife — assaulted her while the two were riding a city bus.
Just minutes after hearing about the alleged incident — which took place in April — the teen’s brother tracked Fife down when the bus made a stop and Fife got off.
According to a news release by the Logan City Police Department, the teen’s brother rushed Fife, assaulting him, and knocking him to the ground.
Chief Gary Jensen with the Logan City Police Department told KSTU-TV that the teen’s brother rushed Fife in “[k]ind of a linebacker-type charge.”
