The teenager suffered a broken nose as a result of the attack, which occurred in Nagasaki, Japan.
Tamiko Masuta, 66, the manager of an apartment complex, was arrested after assaulting the teenager with her umbrella.
Witnesses said Masuta got into a bus and found the student, 18, occupying one of two seats designated for senior citizens.
She became furious when the student did not offer her the seat and began assaulting the student by kicking and hitting him with the umbrella.
Reports also said this was not the first time Masuta had been questioned by police for the assault of a student on a bus. She was let off with a verbal warning for the last time.

Weird. My friend in Japan says you usually get attacked by older ladies on the train or bus if you DO give up your seat, because you're implying that they're feeble.
Wonderful-
In Ye Olden Days we hardly heared about such incidents even if they happened on the local bus 2 streets away from where we lived.
Yet now we have reached a point in the news where we know of a student-whacking elderly woman on some bus in a place that we first had to bomb in the most horrible way on the other side of the world in another time to even know where it lies... What did who do and where? ...Nagasaki...?
