The angry passenger filmed pushing and shouting at a bus driver he accused of failing to stop in front of his young daughter today did not apologize and defiantly replied: “I don’t apologize, he was wrong.”
Tyren Gee was caught on camera marching menacingly towards the driver, repeatedly swearing at him before shoving him with both hands.
Police have said they are aware of footage filmed in Dagenham, east London, on Saturday, in which Gee warned the driver he would “come back” for him.
The forklift operator explained today that he erupted in fury after bus 364 failed to stop for him on a section of the route.
He and his three-year-old daughter, whom he had taken to the park, caught another bus after walking to a nearby stop and then confronted the driver when he saw him on his break.
A video has revealed the shocking moment an angry man pushes and shouts at a bus driver, while his confused young daughter watches.
At that moment the father’s anger reaches a critical point and he pushes the driver with both hands. To escape any further conflict, the bus driver steps off the ledge, shoves his hands in his pockets, and stares down at the enraged father below.
Gee told MailOnline: “He looked straight at me through the giant windscreen of his bus and didn’t stop even though he was with my young daughter.”
‘I was on Reede Road in Dagenham outside the parade of shops, it is part of the hail and transport section of the 364 bus route and is a wide street with plenty of room to stop.
But even though I clearly pulled his arm out, he continued driving.
‘I walked with my daughter to a bus stop and took another bus home, but the stop I get off at is a rest point for drivers and the one who didn’t stop for me earlier was on his break.
“I went up and talked to him and he was trying to tell me that he didn’t see me put my arm out to stop the bus when I know he did.
“That’s what really bothered me, all he wanted to do was rush down the street to get to his rest stop so he could sit on his butt.”
“I shouldn’t have gone after him like I did, I’m sorry but I don’t apologize because as far as I’m concerned he was wrong.”
“On Saturday I took my daughter out to give my partner a rest and it was a pleasant afternoon, which ended on a sour note.”
The clip, posted on X, formerly Twitter, shows the confrontation meters from where bus 364 is parked.
Dressed in a leather jacket, red cap and sunglasses, Mr Gee can initially be heard shouting aggressively at the driver, who tries to retort that he had not seen him.
The man then begins to walk away from the scene, but not before using more expletives and aggressively pointing again at the driver.
But with his confused-looking daughter standing just a few feet behind him, Mr. Gee walks up close to the waiter and says, “I’ll tell you what, I’m leaving my daughter… and you’re in “This route all damn day, I’m coming for you, you little b****.”
Then he shouts: ‘Do you understand? Do you understand?’
The bus driver decided to stop responding and remains silent during the interrogation, prompting the furious father to push him with both hands.
The man recording with his phone intervenes and says “that’s assault” and advises the bus driver to “do nothing” and “just leave it.”
To escape any further conflict, the bus driver steps off the ledge, puts his hands in his pockets, and looks at Mr. Gee, who begins to walk away but stops and again points aggressively at the driver.
And he adds: ‘He saw me stick my arm out of the store. She literally kept driving.
“I have a three-year-old son, I’ll come back for you, p****.”
He shouts at the driver as he drives away and says: “We’ll probably see you in Ilford, right?”
The clip, which received more than 1.6 million views on X, was posted on Saturday.
The 364 bus runs between Dagenham East and Hainault Street in the center of Ilford, east London.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police are aware of the footage and are in contact with Transport for London.”
“Anyone who can identify the man seen confronting the bus driver in the video is asked to call 101 or message @MetCC quoting reference 5526/31Mar.”
