Picture this: your bus stops at the corner of 164th Street and Hillside Avenue in Queens and an elderly lady carrying a walking cane slowly crawls aboard. Right next to the doors is a kid sitting in one of those priority seats, supposedly meant to assist the lesser-abled riders the chance to sit closer to the exit. The kid doesn’t stand up, leaving the elderly woman to stand there, god knows how painful it is for her to stand… what do you do? Lay into them with the closest thing at hand, of course.

That’s what Larry Woods the bus driver did, and now he’s facing jail time for assault.

A Queens bus driver smashed a passenger over the head with a phone when he refused to give up his handicap seat to an elderly woman, police said yesterday.

The bus driver, Larry Woods, 44, and the allegedly inconsiderate rider, Christian Custis, 22, were both arrested and charged with assault after a brawl erupted over the seat on the Q43 bus in Jamaica.

Police said the fight began when Woods asked Custis to give up his seat to the frail woman with a cane who boarded at Hillside Avenue and 164th Street at 11:16 a.m. Friday.

Things turned ugly when Custis, who is not disabled, refused to relinquish his spot, cops said.

Woods then clobbered Custis in the head with the bus’ onboard phone as stunned passengers looked on, police said.

The pair was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries, before being hauled into the 103rd Precinct station house.

Custis and Woods were both arraigned in Queens Criminal Court yesterday on assault and harassment charges and released. Woods was also charged with one count of criminal possession of a weapon: the phone.

Custis’ older brother, Anthony, said his sibling was not normally hotheaded. “I don’t think he started the fight. It’s not in his nature to do so,” he said.

“Possession of a weapon!” - good grief. Look, I don’t condone acts of violence, but seriously, I think I would have done something myself… I see this happen on the C train all the time, and nobody says anything, except for me. I know, I’m probably going to get myself shot or stabbed one day for mouthing off to some respectless little prick with a blade.

These young twats nowadays have no class, and little respect for our elderly.
