Police said the bus driver reported seeing a woman running to a nearby stop when she stepped in front of the bus, which was travelling down a hill on Eramosa Road.
The driver then slammed on the brakes, which threw two children from their seats, according to police. A four-year-old boy was treated at the hospital with abrasions to his face.
Police allege the woman walked away from the scene, and investigators released a surveillance photo over the weekend as part of their weekly Suspect Sunday campaign.
