James Burdett, 23, was waiting to pick up his daughter from what he believed was the correct bus stop, only to find the vehicle continue its journey. He told Boston’s WCVB that once the bus started moving, “it was too late, I had to grab on because he was already going.” “He pressed on the gas again and hit my leg. I grabbed on for dear life and he kept going.” The bus driver is now on administrative leave as education authorities and the Boston Police Department investigate the incident.
