Video: Man confronts children on New Jersey school bus
DEPTFORD, N.J. (CBS) -- Police in Gloucester County hope someone can identify a man who boarded a school bus in October. The Deptford Police Department released video of the incident.
Authorities say on the afternoon of Oct. 24, the man boarded a Holcomb school bus.
Detectives tell Eyewitness News the man was able to enter the bus when the driver stopped to let off a group of kids.
No children were injured. Officers are still trying to identify the man.
Police say he confronted students after he claims the students threw objects from the bus onto his vehicle.
Officials say criminal charges are possible. The biggest thing they want to emphasize is the behavior is unacceptable.
CBS3 spoke with some South Jersey children who take the bus to school and their parents.
Charles Dilger's daughter rides a different bus than the one shown in that surveillance video.
They live in a neighborhood near the bus route.
"I was just very shocked and surprised to see that somebody would actually be brazen enough just to go on to a bus like that full of kids. Just kind of scary," Dilger said.
Zach Ferentz lives a few doors down. His daughter also wasn't on that bus.
"So yes, it is always a fear, but you just hope that they're making the necessary changes and taking the precautions that this won't happen again," Ferentz said.
Police believe the man's driving a red Chevy sedan.
Anyone who knows this man is asked to call Deptford police at (856) 845-6300.
