@sfstandard: Exclusive: Bobby Meza was riding the 14 Mission bus to a lunch date with his girlfriend Sept. 23 when he saw a fellow passenger attempting to put his hand under the skirt of a teenage girl. As the girl’s mother was yelling at the man to stop, Meza intervened, then was slashed with a box cutter. The day after he was released from the hospital, Meza was arrested and jailed for outstanding warrants in Madera County. He figures speaking to police as a victim of the attack led to his arrest. “I would do it again to stand up for women,” Meza said. “I don’t abide womanizing.” From homelessness and addiction to seeking treatment in San Francisco, recovering from the attack and writing a memoir, Meza reflects on his life in an exclusive interview.
