An uncorked Queens bus driver was captured Tuesday morning on video cursing out - and then wrestling with a teenager who wanted a free ride.

“I’m going to kick your ass,” the driver bellows at one point before shoving the much smaller teen on a Q112 bus in Jamaica.

“I feel tough every FUCKING day, little boy!” the driver also yells into the teen’s face during the approximately three-minute video that a passenger posted on YouTube.

Police identified the teen as Kobe Vaughan, 16, of Queens.

After the on-board clash, Vaughan threw a garbage can at the bus, damaging the front door, police said.

He was arrested and charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief, police said.

The driver was not charged - but his career may have come to an abrupt halt.

“Bus operators are instructed to avoid any type of altercation in cases involving fare evasion,” MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said. “The incident is under investigation.”

One veteran transit worker predicted the driver would be fired.

“He’s done,” the official said. “There’s no way he’s getting out of that one.”

Vaughan boarded at Guy R. Brewer Blvd. and Jamaica Ave. and quietly asked for a free ride, according to the passenger who took the video and entitled her YouTube posting, “Child Abused by MTA Bus Driver.”

The driver refused the freebie request and tensions escalated from there, the rider said.

In the video, Vaughan refuses to get off, claiming the driver broke the rules and “put his hands on me.”

Insults were then hurled back and forth.

Vaughan called the driver “tough guy” and “superman.”

“The bus company doesn’t care about you, sir,” Vaughan says. “You work for white people that don’t care about you.”

The driver called Vaughan a “bum nigger with no money.”

“It’s just a matter of time before a white man’s going to come pick you up and get you off the bus anyway,” the driver says. “There will be a cop passing by, don’t worry.”

Towards the end of the video, the driver shoves Vaughan hard up against the front door in an apparent bid to force him off. The two grapple for about 25 seconds before the video stops.

The woman rider said the two tussled for another two or three minutes before the driver managed to push Vaughan to the street.

“It was really horrible,” she said. “It was unbelievable. I didn’t think it would escalate to that point.”

The bus driver should let it go!
