SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Police say a Greyhound bus veered off Interstate 70 and through a fence in rural Utah after a passenger kicked the driver in the head.

Santos Antonio Munoz-Gonzalez of Springdale, Kan., is jailed on suspicion of bus jacking, criminal trespassing and 26 counts of aggravated assault.

Six people, including the driver, were treated for minor injuries.

Authorities say the attacker ran and was found hiding in the rafters of a garage.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Nigbur says the bus was westbound late Monday night when a passenger from the third row ran to the front and attacked the driver.

The bus went off the road near Richfield after crossing the median and oncoming traffic.

Nigbur says he doesn't know why the man attacked the driver.
