A WRTA bus driver was stabbed in Worcester Wednesday, according to Worcester police, and now the search is on for a suspect.

Police said they were called to a bus near 494 Lincoln St. for the reported stabbing and found a driver with non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Investigators said the attacker wasn't even a passenger on the bus and hopped on the bus right before the stabbing. The WRTA said there is surveillance on the bus that is aimed at the driver's seat, so there will likely be video evidence.

Officers are currently looking for a suspect.
