Marc Giauque reportingOfficers say methamphetamine may have led to an attack at the Salt Lake City Greyhound bus station near 300 South and 600 West.
Police say their suspect, without being provoked, suddenly attacked a woman who was waiting for a bus yesterday afternoon.
She was holding a baby, but Detective Jeff Bedard, spokesman for the Salt Lake City Police Department, says a Greyhound employee was able to get the child away.
Bedard says, "Methamphetamine, it's a heck of a drug, and it can make people act out and do bizarre things."
Police say the man held the woman around the neck and held what he claimed to be a gun to her head. Turned out he was only holding a cell phone.
Police arrested the man after using a Taser on him.
The woman was unharmed.
