Milwaukee school bus fight; woman arrested, police investigating
MILWAUKEE - A fight between a mother and a school bus driver got heated Thursday morning on Milwaukee’s north side.
It was all caught on camera.

"The parent charged toward the driver and tried to push her way up on the bus," said the man who recorded the video, who wanted to remain anonymous. "That’s when the bus driver kicked her off."
The incident happened at 38th and Clarke.

As the bus started to back up, children started screaming. The man recording the video ran over and attempted to stop the fight.
