In the footage, the victim is seen at the front door of the bus, and is pushed repeatedly by the suspect, who demanded that the elderly person get off the bus, according to WCVB-TV.
Eventually, the elderly woman fell face-first onto the sidewalk. The victim’s shopping cart was then tossed off the bus.
“There was a lot of people there trying to figure out what was transpiring because we just saw an elderly lady fall on the ground and didn’t know what was going on,” witness Mark Reeves said, according to WHDH-TV.

Should the perpetrator spend the maximum amount of time in jail allowed by law?
“It’s horrifying,” resident Joseph Drayton said. “To have an elderly woman pushed like that is reprehensible.”
“It should never occur and something has to be done about it. We need to be able to work out our differences without having to put our hands on people. That’s what it boils down to,” Drayton said.
One woman who lives near the site of the incident said she does not know the woman’s name, but said her behavior is not new.

“I’ve seen that girl a lot of times… her attitude, she needs a change,” Dorothy Stringer said.
“She needs some anger management, that’s what she needs, go to anger management because that’s wrong what she did,” she said.
