DURHAM, N.C. — Durham investigators are trying to identify a woman who allegedly slashed a man’s neck during a dispute on a GoDurham bus on March 15.

The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of East Main Street and Angier Avenue, authorities said.

A woman on the bus became angry and threw a soda bottle through a windshield, according to witnesses.

She started to argue with the bus driver, and a male passenger attempted to intervene.

The woman, who was carrying a small child, slashed the man's neck with a box cutter and then got off the bus, witnesses said.

The man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The woman was described as being her 20s and standing 5 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build.

She has red hair and was wearing a dark top with stripes on the sleeves and brown animal print leggings.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Durham Police Department at 919-560-4935 or Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.
