There is currently one less bus driver in Cleveland after allegedly getting in a physical altercation with a woman passenger. Yesterday a video posted on WorldHipHop.com shows the bus driver and woman having a verbal altercation, that soon escalated into something ugly and violent.
The video shows the girl throwing the first hit, followed by the bus driver yelling, “You’re going to jail now”. Unfortunately the incident didn’t end there. With the arguing continuing and threats being thrown around, the girl is on the receiving end of an uppercut courtesy of the bus driver. At one point, the driver chokes the woman and even pulls her hair. During the ordeal, the girl ever once stops yelling and other passengers can be heard screaming, “she’s a girl.” The fight is eventually broken up by other passengers.
Although the woman did provoke the bus driver, he took it to another level. For a grown man to uppercut a young woman is just ridiculous and uncalled for. His reasoning, which is heard in the video, “She wanna be a man..I’mma treat you like a man”.
The names of neither the bus driver or the girl involved have been released, but a RTA Spokesperson released the following statement concerning the incident: We just saw this (video) today and are investigating. Upon review of the video the driver was suspended immediately. The investigation continues.
