He is currently undergoing treatment at Square Hospital after first being admitted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Police chased the bus down and arrested the driver near the National Press Club. The bus was also impounded.
According to the police, Russell was driving his car when it was rammed by a bus on the slopes of Jatrabari flyover.
He got out and tried to stop the bus, but the driver first hit him and ran over his leg.
