When I checked the link, it doesn't work.   Rather than have guys  
paste it together, here is the story.   Seventeen year old mother  
stabbed New Orleans RTA bus driver when driver asked her to fold up  
the baby stroller:
Authorities say a woman who was repeatedly asked to fold up her  
baby's stroller on a New Orleans city bus refused, then poured milk  
on the driver before stabbing her in the chest.

New Orleans police and transit officials tell The Times-Picayune  
newspaper that the veteran Regional Transit Authority driver suffered  
a 4-inch deep wound but she survived.

Authorities say 17-year-old Darrion Scott boarded the bus with her 2  
1/2-year-old baby and was asked to fold up the stroller. Authorities  
say Scott tore the top off the baby's bottle of milk and poured it on  
the driver before stabbing her.

She has been charged with aggravated battery.

The driver, Hanella Johnson, was released from the hospital  
Wednesday. She has been an RTA driver for 18 years.
