AN Enfield woman who handed herself into police after she was exposed on ITV London Tonight for attacking a Haringey bus driver has been jailed.

Stacey Morris, 21, of Brigadier Hill, Enfield, went wild when she boarded the stationary 221 bus, in West Green Road, and was told the bus was not in service.

The young woman, who was with a child in a pushchair, grabbed the female driver and threw her off the bus and on to the pavement causing her to break an arm and dislocate a shoulder.

Morris admitted the charges of causing grievous bodily harm at a hearing at Wood Green Crown Court, in Lordship Lane, on July 26. She was sentenced to nine months imprisonment on Monday, August 23.

Chief Superintendent Joe Royle, of the Met's Safer Transport Command, said: "This woman carried out an unprovoked, vicious attack on a bus driver, leaving her with serious injuries.

"This sentence has taken a violent woman off the streets of London and demonstrates our commitment to catching and prosecuting those who commit violent acts on the bus network."

The attack took place on October 18, 2008, at the bus stand opposite Ducketts Common.

After the incident Morris stormed off and disappeared prompting police to offer a £10,000 reward for information leading to her arrest.

The appeal was aired on ITV London Tonight and featured in local newspapers including the Haringey Independent.

Following the exposure, Morris handed herself in and was subsequently arrested and charged with grievous bodily harm on January 15.

Siwan Hayward, deputy director for community safety, enforcement and policing at TfL, said: "This was a nasty attack on someone who was simply doing their job.

"Our bus staff have a right to work without the fear of abuse or violence, which is why we will always work with the Safer Transport Command to identify and bring culprits to justice, pushing for the strongest possible penalties."
