'Barney' Points Out Woman Who Threatened Bus

Reporting
David Goldstein
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Police -- with a little help from a purple dinosaur -- arrested a woman Wednesday on suspicion of threatening a bus driver with a box cutter in Hollywood.

The box cutter-wielding woman had reportedly threatened a female driver of the 312 bus, which runs along Hollywood Boulevard.

The unidentified woman said she would "cut" the driver's throat if she did not drive the woman where she wanted to go, Eddie Dancy of Metro said.

None of the passengers nor the driver were injured.

Home video captured the suspect nonchalantly walking away from the bus and being apprehended by police.

Several passengers and a street performer dressed as Barney the Dinosaur identified the woman to police.

"Both of us pointed her out to the police, a guy that was on the bus and I did, "Barney" said. "We said, hey man, the lady's walking right up the street. Right into the police."

As the woman was arrested, police say she was holding a box cutter in her hand
