Read the entire story in the Daily News here. TWU Local 100 President Tony Utano said, "We have been working with the NYPD and the MTA to get menaces like this off the street, so this is a satisfying development. The B15 is safer today for our bus operators — and for our bus riders — than it was yesterday. We're going to keep the pressure on and continue to distribute photos of suspects so that there are more arrests like this. No one who assaults a transit worker should ever get away with it.”
