According to the news release, Johnson snatched a rider's phone from their hands. The person got their phone back, and Jackson took a knife out of her jacket, demanded his phone and threatened to kill him.
The rider tried to run to the front of the bus to get away from Jackson, but she lunged forward and stabbed him in the lower back.
Johnson was arrested at the scene.
Her next court appearance will be on July 14.
