Driver and teen fight on moving bus

Horrified passengers found themselves on a runaway bus after their driver got into a fight with a student and failed to put on the brakes.

The Wisconsin bus driver was picking up 30 high school students when he got into an altercation with a 15-year-old boy over his swearing and disruptive behaviour.

When the teen turned on him and started throwing punches, the driver joined in and started hitting him right back.

Students on the bus can be heard screaming in security vision as the vehicle keeps moving, crossing a road before running into parked cars.

According to police, the boy said he was made that the driver was going to suspend his bus pass "so I got up and punched him in the face".

The bus driver has been sacked for improper conduct while on duty and having a preventable accident.

According to local media, attempts by the teen's mother to have the driver charged backfired when prosecutors concluded her son would face charges.

He was charged in a juvenile court with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment.
