Narrative:

Air carrier X told to hold short of runway 32 taxiing to gate which we were. The ground controller then cleared us across runway 32. As I started to move I suddenly realized she also was crossing another aircraft in the opp direction. I immediately stopped and let aircraft Y turn in front of us. I had to make an abrupt stop to prevent an aircraft collision.
