The accused woman, Diana Shaw, was charged with assault, however, a no order was made in the case.

The allegations are that on the day in question, the accused pushed her way on to the bus and was told by the conductor to wait. It is alleged that the accused squeezed the complainant's hand and throat.

The accused, however, said that was not how things happened. She told the court that she was trying to get into the bus after waiting patiently in the line, but there was a huge crowd. She said the complainant was bracing her back and she was about to fall, so she held on to the complainant to maintain her balance.

Shaw was told by Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey to apologise to the complainant and to shake her hand. She did so, but not before trying to sneak in her explanation again. She said, "I am sorry, but you know you saw me in the line." She was, however, told to give a proper apology and was then sent home.
