Youths target San Francisco Muni drivers in attacks

Ugh... school's out for summer, and the kids are bored...
Two Muni drivers were injured and four buses sustained a combined $1,000 in damage in the Bayview on Sunday after a gang of rowdy pranksters as young as 9 years old attacked them with bottles, wooden blocks and other objects.

The youths, who witnesses said ranged in age from 9 to 13, pelted an operator in the face with a basketball and struck another with thick wire during the morning attacks, police Officer Albie Esparza said Tuesday.

The drivers were not seriously injured and both were back on the job Monday, said Debra Johnson, interim executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which runs Muni. Esparza said the attacks were in no way related to the unrest in the Bayview last weekend following the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man by police Saturday.
