An MTA driver was hospitalized after a woman in a surgical mask sprayed an unknown liquid into his face as he was letting passengers off in Brooklyn, according to the NYPD.
The woman, who was a passenger on the B15 bus, sprayed the “irritant” in the 57-year-old driver’s face at about 11 p.m. on May 19, 2017, police said.
