Some say the agency isn’t doing enough to protect them. It was not immediately clear what preceded the attack SEPTA is reviewing video footage from the bus “We’re not sure yet what was going on with the passenger,” Busch said Busch said extra SEPTA police had been assigned to the Yeadon area to assist local police in the search for the assailant “Whenever we have an operator or other front-line employee who is assaulted and suffers an injury it’s taken with the utmost urgency,” he said “The system has been taken under siege” by people experiencing mental illness, homelessness, or drug addiction, Brian Pollitt, president of Transport Workers Union Local 234, which represents SEPTA transit workers, said to The Inquirer at the time. “The job now comes with a lot more than it did when I started here,” said Pollitt, who began his career as a SEPTA bus operator 34 years ago. Passengers spat on SEPTA operators 242 times from the beginning of 2017 through April 2022, according to the transit agency’s incident reports.

The efficiency study is now complete and in the hands of borough officials but Hepkins said there is no timeline of when it will be released to the public because it is still under “legal review.” Delaware County lawmakers sent a letter to Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday asking him to “leave no stone unturned in holding” Crozer Health’s owner accountable Michelle Zajko’s denial was part of a 20-page handwritten “Open Letter to the World” her attorney provided to The Associated Press on Tuesday Chester Township police were notified on January 14 of a suspected child abuse case at Chester Community Charter School Former Yeadon police chief Anthony “Chachi” Paparo accused borough officials of firing him because he is white A Yeadon Borough Police Department vehicle is pictured in a file photo Amid the deaths of two people in police custody in just four months Yeadon Borough subjected itself to an independent study on its department
