No One Arrested After Argument on Bus

No one was arrested on a NJ Transit bus that was stopped near the Livingston border after a verbal dispute between a group of passengers and the driver on Thursday afternoon.

Captain James Miller, police public information officer, said no one was assaulted and no one was removed from the bus after the dispute, which was reported around 3:30 p.m.

While the bus was traveling northbound on John F. Kennedy Parkway, a group of youths got into a verbal dispute with each other, Miller said. The dispute grew so that it was between the driver and the youths, he said, which is when the bus was stopped and police were called.

The bus was stopped near South Orange Avenue just over the Livingston border when police responded, he said. After the police investigation, the bus continued traveling north on John F. Kennedy Parkway.
