Billy Foster, the CTA bus driver who was attacked by a hammer-wielding passenger last week, is speaking out to describe his ordeal. CBS 2 got the sit-down with Foster who spent two days in the hospital and still has 11 staples in his head as a result of the attack. There was no protective shield on the bus Foster was driving at the time of the attack. 18-year-old Adan Valle was arrested and charged in the attack. Foster says of his current recovery, "I can't sleep. I get out of bed and I got to go downstairs because my wife has to get up and go to work, and I just sit there, you know, crying."
