Tanelle Day, a 31-year-old Pittsburgh woman, faces charges including aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, and unauthorized entry onto a school bus after allegedly attacking bus driver Shayla Harris on January 15, 2026. The incident stemmed from Day’s anger over a 5-minute delay in picking up her daughter during snowy conditions on the Propel Braddock Hills route at East Hills Drive and Wilner Drive.
Attack Sequence
Surveillance video captured Day forcing open the bus doors—spilling her coffee—before punching Harris repeatedly while grabbing her hair, as children including Day’s daughter (with pink backpack) and Harris’s son were aboard. Harris prioritized securing the brake to avoid a crash, later suffering a concussion treated at Shadyside Hospital; she recovered in a week and switched routes.
Aftermath and Charges
Harris’s son and two adults intervened, pulling Day off the bus amid screams; a criminal complaint was filed February 2, 2026, with an arrest warrant issued, though no arrest date is listed. Harris described it as a traumatic risk to all lives due to the minor delay, urging patience with drivers in harsh weather.
