A SEPTA driver arrested after assaulting a passenger and throwing her off the bus has been suspended without pay and will probably be fired, officials said yesterday.
Mario Edney, 53, of the 5700 block of North Woodstock Street, was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and making terroristic threats, said Officer Jillian Russell, a police spokeswoman.
On Wednesday, about 11:20 a.m., Edney, a driver for the Route 17 bus, and the passenger, a 52-year-old woman whose name has not been released, got into an altercation around 20th Street and Washington Avenue in South Philadelphia, Russell said.
