No One Arrested After Argument on Bus

No one was arrested on a NJ Transit bus that was stopped near the Livingston border after a verbal dispute between a group of passengers and the driver on Thursday afternoon.

Capt. James Miller, the police public information officer for Millburn, said no one was assaulted and no one was removed from the bus after the argument, which was reported around 3:30 p.m.

While the bus was traveling northbound on John F. Kennedy Parkway, a group of youths got into an argument, Miller said. The dispute grew so that it was between the driver and the youths, he said, which is when the bus was stopped and police were called.

In other police news, an 18-year-old Livingston resident was charged on Wednesday with careless driving after crashing into a police car last week, Livingston police said.

Patrolman Andrew Ullman of Livingston Police was driving on Belmont Drive last Friday when he was hit by Beagh Fils-Aime, who was making a left turn onto Taconic Road, police said.

Both drivers were taken to Saint Barnabas Medical Center after the accident. Ullman suffered injuries to his back and hand and has not yet returned to work, said Det. Sgt. Anthony Dippold. He did not know the extent of Fils-Aime’s injuries.

Patch editor Jennifer Connic reported from Millburn.
