DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the defendants' contention, the Supreme Court did not err in denying their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Questions of fact exist regarding the reasonableness of the reaction of the defendant Michael J. Washington, the operator of the subject bus, in light of the attendant circumstances ( see, CPLR 3212[b]; Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 562; Ferrer v. Harris, 55 N.Y.2d 285, 293).
O'BRIEN, J.P., SULLIVAN, GOLDSTEIN, LUCIANO, and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
