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.

Wow, that guy has some major anger management problems! He needs to take chill pill. I'd prosecute the hell out of him if I was that lady!

Why fire him :shock:

Gives a new added meaning to sit down and shut up.

We wonder why more people don't use public transportation in the US.

How did he throw her into traffic?

Wouldn't he have to stop to do all of that.. And when a bus stops isn't everyone behind it supposed to stop?

Served the loud-mouthed beeyotch right...she should have taken a CHILL PILL first...then she wouldn't have gotten hurt. Some people think that they can run their mouths without consequences...bet she thinks twice about mouthing off next time!!! :twisted:

She will make some money off of this, no doubt...I am sure that one of my sleazy brethren will take on her case and get her a nice settlement!
