Police: Passenger hits bus driver in Brooklyn with bottle

An angry passenger attacked a bus driver in Brooklyn on Saturday, stabbing the 60-year-old MTA employee in the neck with a bottle, police said.

The driver was driving a shuttle bus and was approaching the corner of Pitkin and Alabama avenues in East New York around 11:45 a.m. when a man in his 20s began arguing with him, cops said. It was not clear how long the passenger had been on the bus when the argument began.

During the argument, the younger man hit the driver with a bottle and stabbed him in the neck, police said.

Emergency medical services took the victim to Kings County Hospital, where he is expected to survive.

The attacker fled and remained at large on Saturday. He was described as black and was last seen wearing a gray shirt, black pants and a brown hat.

Police searched the area for surveillance footage that could help identify the attacker.
