Police appeal after attack on 149 bus driver

City of London Police is appealing to the public to help them identify a man suspected of assaulting a bus driver.

The man had pressed the emergency alarm in an effort to leave the bus ahead of its scheduled stop. When this failed to open the doors he punched the bus driver in the face, breaking his nose.

The incident took place on the 149 ‘bendy’ bus just after midnight (12:20am) on Friday night / Saturday morning 27th February. The man boarded the bus at Dalston Junction, before getting off at Bishopsgate.

Anyone with information on the incident should contact City of London Police on 0207 601 2916, or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
