Police respond to fight call on school bus

Multiple Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook police officers are still on the scene at Cahaba River Road near Highway 280 after responding to a fight call.

Captain Greg Hagood of the Mountain Brook Police Department said his department received the call around 4 p.m. from a Jefferson County school bus. The bus left the scene around 4:35 p.m.

“A student seated at the back of the bus and a student at the front of the bus got into an altercation,” Hagood said.

The altercation was verbal only, Hagood said, but the bus driver chose to pull over and call police as a precaution.
