A Pittsburgh Regional Transit driver is facing charges, accused by a passenger of dragging her down a street.

Port Authority Police say Jesse White got into an argument with the passenger about where she would be dropped off.

As the woman was getting off the bus in Sharpsburg, she allegedly threatened White.

When she stepped outside, her bag became stuck in the bus doors and White reportedly dragged her down the street.

The woman then tried to remove her bike from the front of the bus and was thrown onto the street when the bus slowed down.

White is off the job, facing a felony aggravated assault charge and the woman was charged with misdemeanor assault.
