A young girl seen screaming and struggling with a woman inside an SUV while going through the Bay Bridge toll plaza on Saturday night has been found safe, according to the California Highway Patrol.

San Francisco police arrested the woman she was struggling with on suspicion of a later incident involving domestic violence and child abuse, CHP officials said.

The woman had been fighting with the driver of a Chevrolet Blazer as it passed west through the Interstate Highway 80 toll plaza at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the CHP. The little girl was kneeling in the center console area trying to break up the fight.
