A Florida man is facing up to five years behind bars after allegedly attacking a victim with an open ketchup packet at a bus station.

Austin Simmons, 28, was passed out at the PSTA Grand Central Station in St. Petersburg on Tuesday night when a concerned passerby stopped to check on him to “see if he was okay,” according to an arrest affidavit.

Simmons — identified by police as homeless — allegedly “woke up irate” and aggressively advanced toward the would-be good Samaritan.
