Happened on the n6 again:
Nassau County police are looking for a man who punched a NICE bus driver in the face Sunday because the driver missed his stop.
Police said Monday the suspect hit the driver, 50, at about 6:30 p.m. in Franklin Square, after the driver operating the N6 bus missed the stop on eastbound Hempstead Turnpike.
The suspect got up, started a disturbance and then sat down when the driver stopped at Franklin Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike, police said.
When the driver continued his route, east on Hempstead Turnpike, the suspect "got back up causing another disturbance," police said in a news release.
"The victim stopped the bus again at Claflin Boulevard and the suspect punched the victim in the face causing a laceration to his lip," the release said.
The suspect then left the bus, traveling west on Hempstead Turnpike, police said.
It's at least the second assault on a NICE bus driver in the last month, according to police.
On Feb. 24, a Hempstead woman, 27, punched a driver, driving the same route on Hempstead Turnpike in Franklin Square, police said.
Ivey S. Dixon, pleaded not guilty to felony second-degree assault at her arraignment and is due back in District Court in Hempstead on Tuesday.
Police and prosecutors said Dixon punched driver Keisha McGregor, 38, on Nassau Inter-County Express N-6 bus, also because the driver missed the passenger's stop.
Dixon struck the driver in the head as the bus approached New Hyde Park Road, police said. She got off the bus and fled east on Hempstead Turnpike with her daughter, 3. She was arrested two days later after police received an anonymous tip.
