An Austin man attacked on a Capital Metro bus in September says he still fears for his safety. Since there were no cameras on the bus, police say the investigation has hit a dead end.

Without a vehicle, Jason Daley relies on Capital Metro. He often uses the bus stop just a short walk from his apartment on Koenig Lane. However, after being attacked on the bus at 12:30 p.m. September 12, Daley is scared to leave his house -- let alone get on another bus.

“I won't get on it. I'm terrified,” said Daley.

Daley was punched in the face by another passenger. He believes he was attacked because of his sexual orientation. The hit broke his glasses, leaving shards lodged in his eye.

“I had glass sticking out of my eye; little, like big shards of glass,” said Daley.

He lost nearly 80 percent of his vision in his right eye and has to wear sunglasses most of the time.

“It's a big, white blur -- from this side... all I see is a big white wall,” said Daley.

He hasn't been able to work since the assault.

“I'm not able physically or mentally able to work and to get money,” said Daley.

Now his bills are adding up. This weekend Jason was served an eviction notice. The papers show he owes $1,225 in unpaid rent.

Meanwhile, the man who hit him still hasn't been found.

“Safety is always the top priority for Capital Metro,” said Adam Shaivitz, Capital Metro.

Shaivitz says the bus Daley was riding didn't have a security camera.

“We do take every incident seriously and certainly will enhance security where and when we need to,” said Shaivitz.

However, Shaivitz says the route on Koenig does not have a history of security issues, so Capital Metro isn’t making any changes.

Without video evidence, police rely on what other passengers saw. None of them could give a good description of the man who hit Jason.

“It was one punch very quickly, as the suspect got up to leave he struck the victim and then left the bus,” said Sgt. Ed Peek, Austin Police Department.

Peek says the department is not ruling this attack as a hate crime, but Jason says he's still too scared to stay in Austin. He plans to move to New England next week.

Detectives admit they may never find the man responsible.

After this story aired, Capital Metro asked to clarify its security procedures. The transit group says although no changes have been made to the route Daley was riding so far, it has not ruled out making future security changes.
