Tuesday, August 2o, 2024 - A New Jersey Transit bus driver was filmed pummeling a passenger and putting him in a ch0kehold after the passenger apparently spat on him.
The driver, Toron Walker, was arrested
after the violent altercation with the male passenger erupted on a crowded bus
in Newark on Friday afternoon, August 16, RLS Media reported.
Footage of the ordeal allegedly
showed the driver pinning the male passenger down to one of the seats by his
neck before slamming him down in the middle of the aisle.
The driver then landed several blows
to the passenger’s head, one clip shows.
“You f***ed up. What the f**k is wrong with
you? You want to spit?” Walker could be heard shouting as he continued to punch
the commuter.
At one point, Walker was filmed
getting the man in a chokehold as horrified passengers screamed for him to
stop.
Cops eventually boarded the bus,
which was stopped at Court Street near Broad Street, and found Walker allegedly
still pummeling the passenger, Newark’s Department of Public Safety said.
He was cuffed and later slapped with
an aggravated assault charge.
