The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday released details on the June 11 incident in East San Jose and said the suspect also assaulted the driver before he exited the bus at South King and Tully roads.

Jarosz said the woman immediately alerted the bus driver of the man's behavior and pulled out what appeared to be a taser.
"The man goes up to the driver and continues to please himself in front of her, and then wipes himself off and touches her on the arm. It's downright dirty and disgusting," Jarosz said.
The suspect is described as Hispanic, between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and weighing about 160 pounds. He has black hair, with a beard and mustache, the sheriff's office said.
Detectives from the sheriff's Sexual Assault Investigations Unit are investigating. Anyone with information should contact the tip line at 408-808-4431.
