I agree, Bus Drivers shouldn't work in fear of others, and this man attacked the driver for stumbling when he got on! Thats a ludicrous thing to beat someone up over, it's like punching someone in the face for touching your phone for example

So I take it the driver was out of the cab when this cowardly attack happened? Drivers should get pepper spray or something to protect themselves. I hope the Victor Meldrew lookalike is caught soon.

The bus driver drove his 119 to the Colonnades and then took his meal break in a park. The old bloke that attacked him got the 119 after and got off at the Colonnades and assaulted him in the park.

My, that sounds even worse...

The images are pretty clear so perhaps he'll hand himself in when he sees them? Totally unacceptable behaviour.
