EXCLUSIVE: Punched Rider’s Side of RTA Scuffle
CLEVELAND — It’s unbelievable video that is sending shock waves through Cleveland.
Cell video of a bus driver punching a passenger that went viral recently.
The woman who was on the receiving end of the punch is talking only to Fox 8′s Melissa Reid.
“I don’t remember everything, because I was so hysterical at the time,” said Shidea Lane, 25, of Cleveland.
Lane says she was getting on an RTA bus back on Sept. 18 to go to work.
“The bus driver didn’t think I had any money to get on the bus and I was looking for it, trying to tell him that I have money to get on the bus. Can you just let me find it? And from there it just escalated,” said Lane.
The situation escalated so much that eventually Artis Hughes, 59, of Cleveland, delivered an uppercut to Lane’s chin.
“It’s amazing to see how a man would hit a woman that hard. Are you serious? You could have pulled me off the bus. You can’t really touch anyone, but for real? You really punched me?” said Lane.
Cell phone video captured the hit, and the sound is resounding.
“It felt like I was on Mortal Kombat. It just hurted. It was almost like a ‘finish him!’ type of hit,” said Lane.
Now this all went down on the No. 5 bus going down Chagrin Boulevard.
According to the RTA, Hughes has been with the company for 22 years.
“Upon identifying the driver, he was immediately suspended and removed from duty. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable. RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident,” said the RTA in a statement.
However, Lane is not apologizing for her role in the incident.
When asked about hitting the bus driver and spitting on him first, Lane did not comment.
“No see, that’s why I want to talk to my lawyer. I don’t really want to, I can’t answer that question. It’s more than that,” said Lane.
But Lane does admit that two wrongs don’t make a right and says she has changed.
“And if something like this escalates, I would just remove myself quickly. You know what I’m saying, instead of having the decency to engage in a conversation with the guy,” said Lane.

i wanna hear his side of the story tho
OCTOBER 12--The Cleveland bus driver who delivered an uppercut to an unruly female passenger told cops that he struck the woman after she grabbed his throat and spit in his face as he was driving, according to police reports.
Artis Hughes, 59, was interviewed by officers shortly after the September 18 confrontation with Shi'dea Lane, 25, on a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus.
Video of the fight (see below) went viral online this week, prompting RTA officials to suspend Hughes, a 22-year veteran, and characterize his behavior as "absolutely unacceptable."
When cops responded to the stopped bus around 4 PM, Hughes and three passengers described Lane (pictured at right) as the incident's aggressor. Hughes told cops that Lane initially boarded the bus without paying, claiming, "I left my bookbag."
Hughes said that after Lane, a restaurant employee, eventually paid her fare, she told him, "You a Bitch and Your Momma's a Bitch Too!" She also reportedly stated, "Keep talking about me and I will spit on you!"
In a written statement, Hughes recalled that Lane "grabbed me in the throat and spit on me in the face." In response, the driver said he stopped the bus, "and I protected myself." The Hughes statement does not reveal that he hit Lane squarely in the jaw with a bolo punch that knocked her to the ground.
One witness told cops that a "drunk" Lane "got on the bus fliping out" and "started talking crazy" to Hughes. After spitting on Hughes, the witness wrote in a statement, the driver "did what he had to do."
A second witness wrote that Lane was "loud and obnoxious" from the start, and spit on Hughes and "started hitting him." The witness added, "That's when he hit her back." A third witness described Lane as "drunk" and reported that "she hit him and he jumped out of his seat and started fighting her."
When first interviewed by cops, Hughes said he was willing to prosecute Lane. But a week after the incident, he called a police detective to report that he "did not wish to pursue prosecution of the female suspect." He subsequently signed a "Refuse to Prosecute Form."
Lane was not arrested at the scene. In fact, following the confrontation, she was transported to the restaurant where she works by police officers.
According to her Facebook page, Lane, the mother of a four-year-old girl, loves "2 go to church," and considers herself "a people person." In a May posting, Lane wrote that she was trying to get “famous and rich,” and referred to “being shot and stabbed in ma face,” which “prolly messed me up from tryin to model.”
Seven years ago, Lane was shot four times during a robbery at the home of a male friend. During the bus fight, Lane’s injuries from the stabbing prompted Hughes to comment, “Look like somebody done sliced your face up.” (6 pages)
