Wincing in pain, a black-and-blue bus driver recalled being sucker-punched and brutally beaten after telling a 17-year-old her Chihuahua wasn't allowed on board.
Marlene Bien-Aime, 48, had turned her attention away from the disgruntled teenager at the front of the bus and faced the windshield when the brutal attack began Tuesday night, she said outside Bronx Criminal Court.
"When I turned my head, that's when she hit me," Bien-Aime said. "She punched me in my eyes while I was sitting. She hit me several times in my eyes. She hit me all over my head and on my back."
