Transit Police Probing Strange Fight In Metro Vancouver Bus Involving 2 Women, Man In Wheelchair

Darpan News Desk, 03 Sep, 2016 02:56 PM
    Transit Police are looking into a violent incident that occurred on a TransLink bus 106 near the New Westminster SkyTrain station.  
     
    Bus passenger Adeola Oyebula says it all began when the elderly woman refused to let a man sit next to her.
     
    She posted a nine-second video of the fight to Twitter that shows an elderly woman being held back by a younger woman while the elder spits on someone off camera. The younger woman then shoves the lady into a seat and slaps her on the head, which knocks her to the floor of the bus.
     
    “Mind your business, that’s what you ought to do. Mind your f---ing business,” the man responds.
     
    In another brief video, the older woman appears to spit at the man, at which point the other woman pushes her into a seat and slaps her in the face, causing her to freeze and then slowly tip over onto the floor.
     
    A third and final clip shows the older woman sitting on the ground and apparently blocking the man in the wheelchair from exiting the bus.
    “He’s calling the police!” she yells, gesturing toward the bus driver.
     
    Transit Police did not receive a report about the incident and are reaching out to all the jurisdictions to find out if it was reported somewhere. They have been made aware of the video and are trying to get the video from the bus cameras.
     
    Anyone with information is asked to contact Transit Police at 604-515-8300.
