Newly-released security video from a Cleveland bus has caught an all-out punch-out between a bus driver and a passenger after the traveler placed several bus schedules on the floor of the bus.
The bus driver initially allowed the passenger, a homeless man, to use another rider’s fare card so he could board, according to a WKYC report.
The man chose to sit at the back of the bus and started spreading bus schedules along the floor of the bus, stating that he was trying to keep warm.

When the bus driver saw this he asked the man to clean up the schedules and wouldn’t allow the man off the bus until he had done so.
The passenger then tried kicking the back door of the bus open but that’s where things started going south.
With that kick, an altercation ensued with punches being thrown almost immediately after the driver had made his way to the back of the bus.
The bus driver, an employee with the transit service for 28 years, has been suspended while an investigation is conducted. The passenger was treated at hospital for minor injuries and was released. Neither man has been charged.
