Ronald Jackson, 44, was already in a San Bernardino County jail for a carjacking-related arrest on April 11, one day after the beating, according to police.
Authorities said they received a tip from a KTLA viewer earlier this week identifying Jackson.
Jackson, a resident of San Bernardino, was also on parole for a conviction of assault with a deadly weapon.
The attack happened on April 10, shortly after 5 p.m. near 15th Street and Medical Center Drive and was captured on surveillance video.
In the minutes leading up to the attack, police say the suspect was confrontational with passengers on the bus, and then he attacked an innocent disabled bystander because the man was talking to himself.
The victim, who suffers from autism, was hit and kicked repeatedly before taking off on foot.
San Bernardino District Attorney will file charges against Jackson on Friday.
