A very impatient 16 year old BMW driver has been arrested for felony assault after punching a school bus driver in the face; it appears that the teen became irate after noticing that the bus driver was taking down his license plate number after he passed the bus illegally.
According to the report from the Orlando Sentinel, Alvin Lanning, 58, was picking up students on his way to Lockhart Middle School when a white BMW whipped by the bus while it was stopped and its red lights were flashing, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Lanning spotted the vehicle that had passed his bus and paused to write down the license-plate number to turn him in for a traffic violation.
Seeing this, the automobile's teen driver confronted the bus driver.
According to the report Lanning gave deputies, the teenager walked aggressively toward the closed bus doors and swung around to the driver's sliding window.
He punched Lanning in the face and took his $800 glasses, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Surveillance cameras on board the bus captured the sudden assault with schoolchildren aboard. It has not been released publicly.
The accused attacker fled in his vehicle with at least two other young men.
The two witnesses detained by deputies also confirmed the 16-year-old's involvement in the incident, the report said.
The two young men are also facing charges after deputies said they helped their friend break Lanning's glasses.
