Bus Driver Punched By Thug: CCTV Image Released

Police are hunting this suspected thug after a resting bus driver was viciously punched in the eye during a break.

The attack may be linked to a road rage incident the driver had with a motorcyclist shortly before at a set of traffic lights.

At 11.55am on Monday, July 20 the driver, aged 43 years-old, was on his break at a bus stand in Atkins Road, Clapham Park.

While parked a man boarded the bus and punched him in the face.

The driver attended hospital, where he was treated for serious facial injuries.

Police Constable Nick Kortright, from the Roads and Policing Command (RTPC), said: “This was a completely unprovoked attack which has left the victim with an eye injury. 

“As a professional driver, this is clearly of significant concern to him.

“I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV stills to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact the RTPC @MetCC or via 101.
