Westport Man Involved in Road Rage Incident With School Bus

A Westport man is facing charges after police said he attacked a bus full of elementary school children in Connecticut.

James Berrien was charged Tuesday with breach of peace and disorderly conduct for a Dec. 21 road rage incident.

Police said bus driver Danny Castro told them the 64-year-old began chasing the bus with his BMW convertible after they came to an intersection simultaneously, and the bus drove through.

Castro told police Berrien began tailgating and when the bus stopped, he forced his way on, pushing children aside and screaming as children cowered in the back.

His lawyer said Berrien strongly disputes the allegations and looks forward to his day in court.

Investigators said they identified Berrien from bus surveillance video.
