Troy A. Lincoln, a 55-year-old Detroit Department of Transportation bus driver, has been charged with assault with intent to murder and other serious offenses after stabbing a passenger during an argument on July 1 near Gratiot Avenue and East Seven Mile Road. The dispute reportedly began over bus fare and escalated when the passenger spat on Lincoln, who then stabbed the 25-year-old Warren man multiple times, causing lacerations to his abdomen and face.

Lincoln was arraigned with bond set at $50,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on July 11 for a probable cause hearing.
