A woman threw a cup of bodily fluids on two passengers and broke a window on a city bus in the downtown area on Thursday.
Police arrested a 29-year-old Saskatoon woman after an incident that forced the evacuation of a city bus and resulted in a broken bus window in the downtown area on Thursday afternoon.
In a Friday news release, city police said they received a report about a disturbance on a bus that was parked in the 200 block of Third Avenue South around 2:45 p.m.
Alternative response officers who were patrolling the area arrived to find a woman behaving erratically inside the bus; all other occupants had cleared out before police arrived, the release said.
Officers learned a 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl were approached on the bus by a woman they didn’t know.
She “began verbally and physically assaulting them before throwing a cup of bodily fluids onto them,” the release said.
The woman was arrested without further incident. Police said the victims weren’t physically injured.
The suspect is charged with two counts of assault, mischief over $5,000 and breach of court-imposed conditions.
