NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police released surveillance footage are searching for a woman accused of spraying a Bronx MTA bus driver with unknown an substance last month.
At approximately 8:40 a.m. on Monday, May 19, an on-duty 33-year-old MTA employee was onboard a Bx10 bus in the vicinity of Bainbridge Avenue and Van Cortlandt Avenue East in Norwood when the woman sprayed an unknown substance into her face.
