Women arrested after fight with Detroit bus driver

DETROIT — Two women have been arrested after a fight with a Detroit city bus driver that another passenger caught on video.

City transportation director Lovevett Williams says the women became enraged Tuesday after the driver picked one of them up at a stop on the Eight Mile Road but closed the doors and drove off before the second could board.

Williams says the driver halted the bus when he realized what had happened.

The video recorded on a digital camera shows the driver exchanging words, punches and kicks with the women before the two disembarked. No injuries were reported.

Police spokesman John Roach says the women were arrested. Williams says the driver has not been disciplined.

Detroit’s Fox affiliate WJBK-TV aired the fight video Wednesday.
