Police Probing Alleged Assault on School Bus

Barrington police detectives continue their investigation into a bloody assault on a school bus last Monday afternoon, Oct. 7, according to Police Chief John LaCross.

A 13-year-old boy who was thrown off the First Student bus on Sowams Road is alleging that a bus monitor assaulted him during an altercation between them.

The monitor and the bus driver dispute that allegation; they say that the teen assaulted the bus monitor during a confrontation on the vehicle.

The boy and the bus driver reportedly had blood on their hands, said LaCross. 

The incident was reported to police around 4:37 pm.
