A bus driver was caught on camera pummeling a passenger and putting him in a chokehold after the commuter apparently made a vile bodily fluid attack on him.
Video posted online shows a bus driver in Newark, New Jersey confronting the passenger face-to-face after the passenger apparently spit on the driver.
‘You want to spit?’ the driver could be heard asking the man, before taunting him.
‘See me right now, see me right now,’ the driver says.
At that point, the unidentified passenger requests to take the altercation outside – and the driver agrees, waving the other commuters to the back of the bus and telling everyone to ‘get off my bus.’

The driver then sprang into action, putting the passenger in a headlock and throwing punches.
‘I will motherf***ing kill you,’ he could be heard telling the commuter.
‘You got me f***ed up.’
He then proceeds to stomp on the commuter, who could be seen cowering in fetal position under a shelf for suitcases.
Meanwhile, at least one other passenger – whose commute was unexpectedly delayed by the knock-down fight – could be heard telling the driver to stop.
‘It’s OK, it’s OK,’ she pleaded.
