WINNIPEG, CANADA — A bus driver in Canada refused to turn the other cheek when a passenger with the manners of a camel spat at him.
Video footage shows the driver leaping from his cabin after the dirtbag hawked up a giant loogie and got disgustingly phlegmatic during the Aug. 3 incident.
The incident was filmed by another passenger and took place after the man argued with the driver over the fare, according to Winnipeg police.
The spitter was named as Matthieu Joseph Fortier, 29, CTV News reported. Fortier, who has previous convictions for robbery and assault, was charged with assault and held by police.
The driver wasn’t charged but could face disciplinary action for not following protocol when he followed the spitting cobra off the bus.
But talk like that has got the bus drivers’ union spitting mad.
A spokesman for the local transit union said most assaults against drivers are because of arguments over fares, and drivers find it absolutely disgusting and degrading to be spat on, OHS Canada reported.
