Whatever it was that she did to him first, she did it and backed away. I don’t buy his excuse that he hit Lane in self-defense. At least one passenger is heard yelling, “She’s a female!” Hughes responds, “I don’t care she want to be a man, I’m gon’ treat you like a man!” Hughes has refused to apologize and claims he just was defending himself.ĭespite Lane laying hands on him first, he was entirely wrong to retaliate and deserves his suspension. She returns to fight and he grabs her neck. Hughes rises from his seat, twice declares “You’re going to jail now,” then delivers an uppercut to Lane’s chin, knocking her to the ground. What happened next is clear and jaw-dropping. Hughes has since told police that Lane grabbed him by the throat and spit in his face. Lane is seen moving toward Hughes, though what she does is unclear as a passenger is blocking the view. As the viral video shows, that conflict led to an ugly verbal exchange in which Lane and Hughes threatened each other. 18 and the driver, Artis Hughes, believed she did not have her fare. Shi’dea Lane (pictured), the woman struck by the driver, explained to Cleveland’s Fox 8 that the incident began when she boarded the bus on Sept. The RTA has called his behavior “absolutely unacceptable.” The driver, who worked for the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority for 22 years, has since been suspended without pay and removed from duty. I know you - and at least 5 million other people - have seen the video of a Cleveland bus driver delivering a vicious blow to the face of a female passenger.
