NextImg:MTA bus driver pepper-sprayed in the face by ‘disorderly passenger’ who refused to pay fare: sources

An MTA bus driver was pepper-sprayed in the face by a “disorderly passenger” who refused to pay the $2.90 fare in Manhattan, police and sources said.

The ugly episode unfolded aboard an M11 bus at West 55th Street and Ninth Avenue shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday, authorities said.

The 45-year-old male driver was spritzed in the face by the would-be fare beater following the dispute, the sources said.

The eagle-eyed bus operator “saw some cops in the area and waved them down,” the sources said.
