PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS — That’s one bumpy ride.
A 68-year-old woman was attacked by another woman as the two rode the B41 bus in the neighborhood this week, police said.
The victim said the woman, who was in her late 40s, spit on her, pulled her hair and called her “a West Indian b----” as the bus pulled up to Ocean and Flatbush avenues around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, the police report said.
After the assault, the suspect ran off the bus and fled on foot southbound on Flatbush Avenue toward Lefferts Avenue, police said.
The victim told police her attacked was a stranger to her; it’s unclear if the women had an argument or dispute before the assault.
