(snip)The incident, which was caught on video, unfolded Wednesday about 6 p.m. in the middle of the street in the 1800 block of Bladensburg Road NE. Police arrested Mariana Silver, 20, and charged her with assault with a dangerous weapon.

The woman sideswiped the bus, according to a police report, and the driver tried to make contact with her at a red light, but she “grew irate and broke out into a verbal argument.”

The bus driver told her, “You’re a crazy driver, you need to get off the road,” the police report said.

The woman then took a wooden baseball bat out of the trunk of her gold Audi and beat on the bus windows, cracking the windshield, according to the report. The video shows her taking a car jack from her trunk and using it to repeatedly hit the side windows of the bus and the side mirror. Other motorists can be heard honking their horns.

The bus driver then stands in front of her car and makes a call, which police said was to authorities. The video shows the woman get back into her car and move forward, striking him.

Then she gets out of her Audi and approaches the bus driver as some bystanders try to get her to stop.

The bus driver gets onto the hood of her car, dialing 911. The woman then pushes and hits him before she gets back into her car and drives toward him. She can be heard in the video yelling, “Get him off my car!”

The man then leaps onto the hood of the car again, and she accelerates forward, throwing the man off the car and leaving him lying in the street before speeding off.

Destruction of public property. Leaving the scene of an accident. Vehicular assault. Attempted murder.

Does anyone think her vote in 2016 was for MAGA, or was it “I’m With Her”?

More courage than common sense there.

He easily could have suffered a broken thigh bone or a broken pelvic bone. Next time stand to one side, and get a picture of the driver and a picture of her licence plate.

Towards the end, it appears the bus driver jumped on her car. Am I incorrect?

No, I don’t think you’re wrong. He claims he didn’t want her to get away, but by that time people were urging him not to get hurt, and he seemed to be going for the personal injury Oscar.
Not a young guy - he def could have broken something via his stubbornness.
