LANHAM, Md. (AP) — Police have charged a woman with assaulting a student from a special-needs school in Maryland on a school bus.

News outlets report that 45-year-old Owoade Elusanni repeatedly struck the 19-year-old student on Sept. 2.

According to a release from the Prince George's County Police Department, the assault was recorded on a camera on a bus. The student wasn't injured.
