The man, who has not been identified, ran through traffic to hail MARTA bus No. 1709 after it left a bus stop on Buford Highway at North Cliff Valley Way. GSP officials said he banged on the side of the bus to get the driver’s attention.

“He came to the very rear, the last set of wheels ... and started to hit the bus trying to get it to stop,” Sgt. Stacey Collins said. “And that’s when he got caught into and under the bus.”
