The video below shows the woman threatening to fight the driver. The Huffington Post reported that the driver said "he will get his daughter and granddaughter to come down and deal with the 25-year-old woman."
The video then shows the woman going up to the driver, the driver stands from his seat and hits her before throwing her off the bus.
He also screams to the crowd, "She want to be a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man."
The Huffington Post reported that after the RTA saw the video they immediately suspended the driver. They said in a statement, "RTA saw the video posted on YouTube of the operator incident on October 11. Through the investigation, we believe the incident occurred on Sept. 18. Upon identifying the driver, he was immediately suspended and removed from duty. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable. RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident. A full investigation continues."
