After the driver observed the female passenger leaning on the rear bus doors, she made a general announcement advising riders not to lean on the rear doors.
In response, police say the suspect approached the front of the bus and exchanged words with the driver.
The suspect allegedly pulled out a knife and slashed the driver's shirt sleeve. However, the knife did not puncture the driver's skin.
The suspect then fled the bus on foot, and authorities were looking for her.
The driver was not injured, but checked out at the scene.
