DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. Edgar Medina Jr., a Yonkers resident and day student at St. Christophers, was arrested Sept. 12 after a bus driver told police Medina argued with him and punched a rear-view mirror.
Medina boarded the southbound bus about 3:30 p.m. and immediately began arguing with the driver, a 39-year-old man, police said.
