A man has been charged with six counts of aggravated battery to an officer after he became "rambunctious" on a CTA bus and wound up striking the CTA bus driver in the head and, when police responded, hit and kicked five arresting officers. Police called him "highly intoxicated" and said the man struck another officer in lock-up. After complaining of pain, he was taken to Mt. Sinai hospital where he had to be sedated. He has since been returned to lock-up.
