The victim declined the photo transfer and took a screen grab of the message. She says it was sent to her twice more. She says there were several people on the bus, including some in the front of the bus and a group of younger men near the back. Transit police confirm about 15 people were on board at the time.
Transit police confirm they are investigating the message, "which contained extremely concerning sexual threats." The AirDrop receiving option on Apple devices can be disabled altogether, or the settings can be changed from allowing messages from everyone to contacts only.
