EDMONTON -- An Edmonton school bus company is standing by a driver who kicked a student off a bus and left him 10 blocks from home.
Cunningham Transport says in a statement that the 13-year-old boy threatened the driver with violence while on the bus last week.
The company says another student, also 13, had slammed his hockey bag into the driver's head when he stepped off the bus a moment earlier.
It says the driver made a mistake by ordering the child off at an unscheduled stop, but his reaction was understandable.
Edmonton Catholic Schools recommended the driver be fired, but the company says it has instead decided to remove the driver from the division's routes.
School division spokeswoman Lori Nagy says the two boys have been suspended from taking the bus for one week because of their bad behaviour.
