FEDERAL WAY — Police are checking surveillance video as they try to identify people who beat a man at the Federal Way Transit Center.
The 32-year-old Kent man was waiting for a bus Tuesday night when he asked another man to quiet down.
The Kent man was knocked down and beaten. He was treated for a broken jaw and other facial bones at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
KOMO news reports his jaw will be wired shut for six weeks. The disabled man wears prosthetics after losing his legs below the knees in an accident.
The News Tribune of Tacoma reports this is at least the third violent incident at the transit center. A man was stabbed on a bus last September and a man was fatally shot at the center in January 2008.
