New York City Bus Driver Stabbed Over Transfer
|
NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say a New York City bus driver has been stabbed to death by a rider apparently angry over not receiving a free transfer.
The driver of the B-46 bus in Brooklyn picked up the suspect around 12:30 p.m. Monday. The man swiped an invalid fare card and sat down on the bus, then asked for a transfer slip usually available to riders.
Police say that when the driver told the man that he didn't pay for the ride and couldn't get a transfer, the man punched the driver in the head and stabbed him to death while other riders looked on.
The suspect fled on foot. Police are offering a $12,000 reward for any information on the suspect.
Police have not yet released the driver's name.
