While the adult student captured on video assaulting a bus driver in his 70s alongside two minors faces criminal charges, the minors have been sent to the Youth Rehabilitation Center on St. Croix—a facility designed for young offenders who cannot be tried as adults—as the repercussions of the disturbing incident unfold.
The assault, which took place last Wednesday afternoon, occurred while the bus was making its regular rounds in the Strawberry area of St. Croix. According to court documents, the students initiated the attack. Video footage captured adult student Caleave Mascall Jr., alongside two other male minor students from the St. Croix Central High School, engaging in a brutal assault that left the elderly bus driver with visible injuries. The attack reportedly began after a verbal altercation escalated, leading to the minors joining Mascall in the physical confrontation.
