Ohio busdriver uppercuts girl

A Cleveland, Ohio, bus driver delivered a massive upper cut to a woman who was apparently taunting him throughout a bus ride before tossing her out the front door. The video, recorded by a fellow passenger, was posted on WorldStarHipHop.com and YouTube and began going viral on Reddit before it gained national attention.

It’s unclear as to what the fight started over but in the video you hear the girl threatening the driver and the driver responding at one point by saying that he was going to bring his daughter and granddaughter to “whoop your a**.”

Later in the video, after a bit of a struggle, you hear the bus driver exclaim to both the girl and the crowd, “She want to be a man, I’m gonna treat you like a man.”

A statement released on Friday from RTA read:

“RTA saw the video posted on YouTube of the operator incident on October 11. Through the investigation, we believe the incident occurred on Sept. 18. Upon identifying the driver, he was immediately suspended and removed from duty. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable. RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident. A full investigation continues.”

We’ll chat about this today on the show during the Top 5 at 5.
