That's everyday tbh. It's either that, someone walking on the tracks, someone getting hit by a train, broken signals, etc. Don't know if it's thread worthy though.

That’s why I’m not jumping on ole boy for spitting on chick without knowing the details first. Transit workers are always disrespected especially in the big cities

Teen who hit driver with a padlock released with no bail

Spoiler: video of attack

A 16-year-old who allegedly left an elderly MTA bus driver with seven stitches and a concussion in an attack with a metal padlock was busted — and cut free with “intensive” monitoring, authorities said.

Tajari Ravenell is facing a slew of charges including felony assaults — a bail-eligible offense — after he was arrested Monday, according to court records.


Cops say Ravenell was caught on surveillance footage swinging a metal padlock at the 65-year-old MTA worker who was driving a B15 bus near Linden Boulevard in East New York on Feb. 11.

Ravenell can be seen in footage running to the bus stop and banging on the door around 6:30 p.m. after being a few seconds late, cops said.

The tardy rider throws up his hands in frustration and then runs to the next stop where he assaulted the driver, the video shows.

The bus driver had to get seven stitches for the cut above his left eye and suffered a concussion, according to the criminal complaint.

Brooklyn criminal court judge Christopher Robles set his bail at $2,500 — but youth division Judge Craig Walker later cut the teen loose under “intensive community monitoring” with a 4 p.m. curfew, according to the Brooklyn DA’s Office.

People defending the MTA worker never took a train and/or has every dealt with the entitled attitude the MTA workers possess.
