OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man was arrested after being accused of punching an Oklahoma City bus driver and causing the bus to crash into a building.

Oklahoma City police reported only minor injuries stemming from the Saturday wreck.

Authorities said the passenger asked the driver to let him off at an unauthorized stop in northwest Oklahoma City. When the driver declined, the passenger started hitting him.

“The suspect then began punching the driver in the face and removed him from the driver seat. This caused the bus to leave the roadway,” said Lt. Jeff Cooper with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

The bus crashed into a lumber business. Two people inside the building were unhurt, police said.

Five passengers were on the bus when it crashed and one was hospitalized with minor injuries, police said.

The driver was also hospitalized with minor injuries, Cooper said.

The man accused of assaulting the driver was taken into custody. Police did not immediately release his name or details on what charges he will face.
