A woman was caught on cell phone video smashing the window of a Greyhound bus in Northeast D.C. with a car jack before attempting to run over the bus driver with her car as he tried to stop her from fleeing the scene.

{snip} Mariana Silver, of Northeast D.C., illegally passed the bus in the 1800 block of Bladensburg Road and sideswiped another driver in the process. When the driver tried to make contact with the woman, she grew irate and an argument broke out.

After witnessing the accident and ensuing argument, the bus driver got involved, saying, “You’re a crazy driver, you need to get off the road,” according to a police report.

That’s when Silver got a bat from the trunk of her car and started hitting the driver’s side bus window before retrieving a car jack that she used to smash the window, which is where the cell phone video picks up.
