A school bus aide in Pennsylvania has been arrested for allegedly strangling a 6-year-old student, reports Fox News. 

Parents of the young boy reported the incident to the Montgomery Township Police Department on Oct. 16 after noticing

“marks on his neck.”

The 6-year-old informed his parents that the school bus aide had put his hands around his neck and

“choked him.”

The police investigation confirmed the incident through bus surveillance video footage. 

The school bus aide, MacArthur Wilson, 72, was asked to sit with the boy at approximately 4 p.m. Just minutes after sitting with the boy, Wilson was

“seen in surveillance video struggling with the boy’s seatbelt, then putting his hands around the boy’s neck for seven seconds before the bus driver yelled at him,”

the district attorney’s office wrote. The incident took place just a minute before the school bus reached the 6-year-old’s destination. 

Wilson has been charged with strangulation, attempted simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and harassment. He turned himself into authorities and was arraigned on Wednesday, with bail set at $5,000 by the judge.
