Rubino also said that the incident took place on a school bus and that the driver works for a private company based out of Paterson, Aldin Trans Corporation, adding that an exact location of where the incident took place was not available at this time.

The incident allegedly took place on Thursday and Garcia was arrested by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Special Victims Unit on Friday.
