A Los Angeles bus driver was seen on video fighting back against a woman who attacked her on Sunday.

The incident unfolded around 1 p.m. near South Central Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard in South Los Angeles.

The suspect was boarding a DASH bus, which offers free service, and tried to pay a dollar to the driver, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) told KABC-TV. When the driver declined to take the woman’s money, the suspect began attacking the driver.

Video shows the suspect prying open the door that separates the driver from the rest of the bus before grabbing and punching the driver. The driver is seen resisting and kicking the suspect several times to get her off the bus.

The driver eventually separates from the suspect, boards the bus and closes the door.
