Police said a 52-year-old woman spit in the face of another woman on a bus in Darien and later told police the two had been in an earlier dispute; the victim said she’d never seen the other woman before. Darien police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

Shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 28, the victim said, she was sitting on a transit bus near the intersection of the Post Road and Hecker Avenue when a woman, a total stranger, walked past her and spat on her, hitting the victim’s face and shirt. The victim said she had no idea why, since she had never had any interaction with her before, in any way. The bus driver pulled over the bus and called police. The suspected expectorater, a Stamford resident ,said she had been “attacked” (but not physically, she said) by three males and a female the night before in Stamford.
