BRIDGEPORT -- A city woman was arrested Thursday afternoon after police say she boarded a school bus and assaulted several children who were on board.

Police said 29-year-old Daisha Womack attacked the students after claiming they had thrown objects at her car. She was charged with criminal trespass, breach of peace, three counts of third-degree assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor. She was held on $10,000 bond.

The woman told police she was driving behind the We Transport bus when objects thrown by some of the students on the bus out of its windows landed on her car, police said.

According to police spokesman Tim Quinn, Womack got out of her car when the bus stopped on Sanford Place and went onto the bus. When she reached the rear of the bus, she found one of the girls she claimed was tossing the trash duck under a seat, Quinn said. Police said Womack began yelling at the girl and then claimed she was hit from behind by another girl and then jumped by several students.

Womack had marks and scratches on her face, police said, but she was immedieatly arrested and put into a police cruiser upon officers arrival.

Police said they interviewed the bus driver and several other students. Some of those interviewed claimed that Womack hit the girls and spat in their face, police said. Other students said the woman was attacked first as she claimed, police said.

Brandon Johnson, the father of a 12-year-old girl and 11-year-old girl who saw the alleged incident said his children told him, "A lady, an adult, jumped on the bus and attacked two minor girls. Apparently something was thrown off the bus and it hit her car."

Johnson said the bus driver flagged down police and arranged for another bus to bring home the students still on the bus.

He said his children who normally get home at 4:30 p.m. did not get home until 5:30 p.m.

A student complained of head pain and paramedics took her to St. Vincent's Medical Center for treatment.

Police said they are continuing to investigate the incident and will receive a copy of the onboard bus security video for review.
