A bus rider, ticked off at having missed his stop, attacked the driver, punching her repeatedly even as the bus continued uptown on First Avenue, cops said.
He first struck the 58-year-old driver near East 102nd Street in East Harlem at about 7:50 a.m. Friday, cops said.
A fellow passenger snapped a picture of the man as he got out of the bus and fled into a yellow cab, authorities said.

A thief in Williamsburg signed for a UPS-delivered package and hit the jackpot — more than $5,000 worth of music gear, including a vintage guitar, microphones and a mixer, cops said.
The 25-year-old victim’s mom had sent the gear to his Thames Street apartment, according to authorities.
When he hadn’t received it by April 27, he inquired and was told that the UPS deliveryman had turned the package over to a man who had signed for it with the name Raul on April 18.

Two gunmen stole more than $1,000 from four men who had invited them to stop by a Williamsburg basement apartment early Saturday, cops said.
The victims, who ranged in age from 35 to 53, had asked the duo to drop by at an address on Scholes Street near Bushwick Avenue.
But once the two arrived, at about 4:30 a.m., one produced a black .22-caliber handgun while the other barked, “Gimme your money! Call the police, and I will kill you!”
The victims told investigators that the speaker went by the nickname of “Pupi.”
The thieves also made off with a black iPhone 4, a MetroCard and multiple Social Security cards and driver’s licenses.
The Bronx
Cops are looking for an armed man who assaulted and robbed an elderly woman in an Eastchester subway station, authorities said.
The thug, believed to be in his 30s, approached his 65-year-old mark as she left a No. 5 train at Baychester Avenue at 5:35 a.m. Thursday, the authorities added.
He clocked her in the head with a gun, snatched her purse and fled, cops said.
The injured woman was treated at St. Barnabas Hospital and released, officials said.
The suspect was further described as being about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighing between 200 and 240 pounds and wearing a brown hoodie.
