CROWN HEIGHTS SHMIRA

Monday, August 11, 2008 2:45: A United Lubavitch Yeshiva school bus, occupied with children, was driving down the service lane on Eastern Parkway between Kingston and Albany Avenues when it passed a car that was parked at a fire hydrant. The bus driver thought he may have touched the car so he got out to take a look. The driver then went back into the bus for a moment and the owner of the car, thinking that he was leaving, began to make a scene. The bus driver stepped out of the bus and was confronted by the driver of the car. A dispute ensued, resulting in the bus driver’s foot being injured by the car owner.
