Video: Hunan's bravest bus driver

This video, which has gotten over 130,000 views so far, is of what netizens are now calling the bravest bus driver.

Calling from Hunan Province, the driver of the No. 12 bus in Yongzhou, suddenly found herself face to face with a crazed thief wielding a knife on Monday. He tried to force her out of her chair, even stabbing it. But she stayed calm and delayed as long as possible, first asking all the passengers to get off the bus and then telling the thief to relax and sit down while she drove him away.

Finally, the thief ordered her to stop the bus and ran off to escape, only to be captured by police soon after.

I'm not sure what the female equivalent of "Balls of steel" would be. But she's got them.

She's brave, but the cowardly passengers behind him could have taken him down very easily. Fortunately for the driver, the thief only had a knife and she was cool enough to get out this unharmed.
