Attack on Kaunas Trolleybus: He Called Himself Christ and Threatened to Shoot Others
A man in Kaunas behaved erratically on a trolleybus, claiming to be Christ and threatening violence against passengers.
In Kaunas, Lithuania, a disturbing incident occurred on a trolleybus involving a man dressed in a vividly colored jacket with the 'Kauno švaros' logo. Eyewitnesses reported that he was shouting profanities, spitting, and behaving aggressively throughout the journey. During his tirade, he referred to Jesus Christ and made ominous threats, asserting that if he had a weapon, he would shoot everyone on the bus. He specifically harassed an elderly woman, claiming he could not shoot her but would use gas to harm everyone, and even threatened to strangle her as he approached closer.
The incident drew attention as the man was identified as an employee of the public cleaning company 'Kauno švara,' but the company clarified that his erratic behavior occurred during his off hours and was not connected to his job. They emphasized that his actions do not reflect the company's operations or employee responsibilities. This highlights a potential issue regarding employee conduct and public safety, especially in positions where individuals may interact with the community.
This alarming behavior raises questions about mental health awareness and the need for better support systems for individuals who may be facing psychological issues. The public's reaction to the incident will likely push for discussions on safety measures in public transportation, as well as the responsibilities of employers when it comes to the behavior of their employees in public spaces.
