It's a video that went viral: Traffic Officer Kenrick Deshield being pushed off a bus by Evan Sweetbwai Caine.
Cain is in jail pending sentencing, but the bus line he worked for, "Fu We Transport" also has its road service permit under review by the Ministry of Transport.
All sides are seizing on the violence done to a traffic officer.
But the driver on the bus that day - who is the owner's son - has a very different version of events. Osborn Blease came by our studio today to say that officer Deshield was the aggressor:
We note that Officer Deshield reported to his higher up's that he pulled over the bus because it had too many passengers and because it was operating with the door open.
Fu We Transport also issued a release saying, quote, "All our buses, are fully licensed, insured, and operate in strict compliance with regulatory and safety standards. The allegation that this bus was carrying standing passengers at the time of the encounter is also entirely inaccurate. While we occasionally accommodate standing passengers to ensure timely service for commuters, there were no standing passengers onboard during the interaction with the traffic officer, as claimed." End quote.
