MILWAUKEE — New video shows the moments a Milwaukee County bus driver helped a child who was alone at a busy intersection last month.

In May, the driver, Jasper G., picked up the child at a bus stop near 35th and Capitol in the morning after noticing he was alone. He then alerted public safety officers and Milwaukee police about the child, according to a release from MCTS.
