Police are seeking public assistance in identifying the suspect, described as a woman in her 20s, wearing a white and pink tank top, black tight shorts, and glasses. Local commuters express concern about rising violence on public transit.
The NYPD says it happened around 11 p.m. Aug. 6 at Miller Avenue and New Lots Avenue. Investigators say the woman walked up to the 48-year-old driver and punched him in the face before running away.
Paramedics took the driver to the hospital. He was injured but is expected to be OK.
Erica said she avoids public transit altogether because of violence. 'I avoid it 'cause of the violence. People are very violent, and that's why I just wouldn't take the bus,' she said.
Police describe the suspect as a woman in her 20s, last seen wearing a white and pink tank top, black tight shorts and glasses.
