PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A transit bus driver grabbed a woman by the hair, knocked her head into a pole, opened the door and tossed her into traffic after she yelled at him for missing her stop, police said.
The 52-year-old woman, who was not identified, suffered a broken shoulder.
Bus driver Mario Edney, 53, was arraigned Thursday on aggravated assault and other charges, said Officer Jillian Russell, a police spokeswoman. He was being held on $2,000 bail.
Edney said he had to skip the woman's stop Wednesday morning because of a detour, police said.
Transit officials intend to fire Edney, who has been suspended without pay, following a hearing, said Richard Maloney, a spokesman for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
Good job posting the ads.
Bitch probably deserved worse.
i side with the bus driver, well done sir.
Right on, Mr. Busdriver.
Did you guys hear about the guy in Jersey who drove a middle school bus? He had a mafia type atmosphere goin on up in there. He had an enforcement crew who would beat students who complained or caused trouble.
Yeah, yeah, bite me Dio. Just doing my part to promote capitalism.......

I thought that was in NY?
Sounds like a perfect SAM candidate.
I often want to do this to some passengers on the morning train. Here's to you, Mr. Overly-Aggressive Bus Driver.
