A woman will appear in court today charged over allegedly spitting on a bus driver in Sydney’s CBD.
About 5pm on Wednesday (6 May 2020), a woman, carrying a dog, boarded a bus stopped on Eddy Avenue in Haymarket.
Police will allege in court that when the bus driver, a 44-year-old man, told her that dogs were not permitted onboard, she refused to leave and spat on him.
The woman then ran from the bus through the front doors.
Officers from Sydney City Police Area Command were notified and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, including a public appeal, police arrested a 52-year-old woman in Dacey Gardens about 10.30am today (Friday 8 May 2020).
She was taken to Maroubra Police Station, where she was charged with common assault.
The Matraville woman was refused bail to appear before Central Local Court today.
