The spit reportedly hit one of them on the leg.

Investigators said the woman got up to confront him, but her friend pulled her back to her seat, who then called the accused a name.

In response, the man then spat on the friend, hitting her arm which she raised to block her face.

He was kicked off the bus and subsequently arrested on Thursday.

A 25-year-old will appear in court Mar 15.
