Police arrested a 29-year-old Saskatoon woman after an incident that forced the evacuation of a city bus and resulted in a broken bus window in the downtown area on Thursday afternoon.

In a Friday news release, city police said they received a report about a disturbance on a bus that was parked in the 200 block of Third Avenue South around 2:45 p.m.

Alternative response officers who were patrolling the area arrived to find a woman behaving erratically inside the bus; all other occupants had cleared out before police arrived, the release said.
