On her way back from the work a young male
was gazing at the victim and then approached

what she was''. After she pushed him away, he
threatened her: ''You don't want me to check
what you have down there, in your pants''.
They got into physical struggle and then the
victim ran from the bus. No passenger reacted
to this incident, expect an old lady who accused
the victim of harassing everybody because
''nobody knows what she is''.
