Police in Newark issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Sulaiman Boyer, 34, of Newark, who spit on an NJ Transit Bus driver after he would not accept a used bus ticket on July 21, 2021.
According to authorities, police responded to a call about an assault in progress that occurred around 7:15 p.m. on an NJ Transit bus stopped at Lenox Street and Sanford Avenue.
When they arrived, police said the driver told the officers that one of two men gave him a bus ticket that had already been used.
According to police, Boyer and the other man spit on the driver when he would not accept the ticket or drive the bus.
