Woman Bites a Bus Driver Because He Wasn’t Driving a Hybrid

Last week, the New York Daily News published a story about Ms. Sheila Bolar, 49, who was so upset that the NY city bus picking her up was not a hybrid that SHE BIT THE BUS DRIVER.

Really.

According to MTA bus driver Peter Williams, Ms. Bolar was visibly upset when he picked her up on New York’s upper West Side. “She came on the bus, and she said she waited more than an hour for a hybrid,” he explained. I told her “I’m not in control of what bus is assigned to me.”

Apparently the woman began shouting at Williams, eventually grabbing him. When Williams made his next scheduled stop at West 79th Street, he radioed dispatch for help to deal with Ms. Bolar. “That’s when she bit me. I couldn’t believe it.”

Peter, I can’t believe it, either!  Bolar’s bite went through Williams’ jacket, sweater, and undershirt, causing bruising and swelling. “She bit through all that,” he said.

Bolar fled the scene after biting Williams, but was apprehended a few blocks away. She faces felony assault charges. Williams, a Naval reservist and father of two, plans to take a little time off after the bizarre attack.
