Homeless man busted for pummeling MTA bus driver

A homeless man was busted after he allegedly brutally pummeled an MTA bus driver in Manhattan late Friday, cops said.

Sharif Pasha, 42, had just gotten off the bus on Waterside Plaza in Kips Bay around 10 p.m. Friday when he walked over to the driver’s side window, grabbed the 28-year-old driver and punched her repeatedly in the face and chest, authorities said.

He bolted from the scene, only to be caught about an hour later near the 30th Street Men’s Shelter near First Avenue, where he lives, police said.

Pasha was hit with a felony assault charge.

The driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment, cops said.
