NEW YORK, N.Y. -- A bus driver apparently spit on a woman during a dispute in Brooklyn, video of the incident shows.
The video, posted on Twitter just after 5:15 p.m. on Sunday, shows a woman with a small child in a stroller shouting and walking away from a B25 bus. The driver then parks the bus, chases after the woman as she walks down the sidewalk and appears to spit on her, the video shows.
As the bus driver runs back to his vehicle, an unidentified man shouts at him asking, "Why would you spit in her face? Why would you spit in her face again?"
