OSHAWA, Ont. — A 21-year-old man has been arrested after he spit on a bus driver during a fare dispute. At about 11:15 p.m. on Feb. 6, a Durham Regional Transit bus picked up two men from an intercity commuter bus station in Ajax, Ont., the Durham Regional Police Service said in a statement. One man claimed to be transferring from another bus, and the driver allowed him to ride on the bus without proof of payment, the DRPS said in a press release. But when the bus arrived in Oshawa, the man asked for a transfer for another bus and was denied. The man paid for the fare and received a transfer, but then spat on the driver, the release said. Police were called and located the man; the second man managed to escape before police arrived. As the suspect was being arrested, he broke free of the officer and ran. “After a brief foot chase, officers struggled with the suspect as he continued to resist and a [conducted energy weapon] was deployed,” the DRPS said. Felix Ajayi of Toronto has been charged with assault, assault with intent to resist arrest and escaping lawful custody.
