According to police, the driver now has a broken nose, jaw and lost a tooth. The attack happened on October 13 in the 7200-block of South Ashland.
Russell was charged with misdemeanor battery and three counts of felony aggravated battery to a CTA employee.
Court records show Russell was also arrested in 2014 for threatening to blow up a bus as "Jihad against the White Devil." He was sentenced to two years for that incident but released very early thanks to Illinois State Senator Bill Cunningham and Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
