A city bus driver and passenger were both arrested Wednesday after they get into a dispute aboard an MTA bus in Brooklyn.
Transit officials say it all started when there was a problem with a passenger who brought a dog onto the B-36 bus. The driver stopped the bus and was waiting for help when another passenger got mad.
Police say the woman demanded her money back, but the driver declined. They say that's when the woman started to hit the driver repeatedly with her jacket.
Witnesses say the driver then began to hit the woman on her neck.
Both the passenger and the driver were arrested for assault.
The incident happened at the intersection of 37th Street and Surf Avenue in Sea Gate.
