37-year-old man charged for the assault on bus driver

The 37 year old man who is alleged to have assaulted a bus driver in Toga, Nausori last week has been charged.

The man is charged with one count of assault causing actual bodily harm.

He will appear in the Nausori Magistrates Court today.

Police had earlier stated that the man allegedly assaulted the driver after he claimed the driver's failure to wait for him at the bus stand when he was trying to board the bus with leftover produce he was selling at the market.

The man is alleged to have followed the bus driver to Toga Road where he committed the offence.

A video is being circulated online which shows the driver being punched in the head, ribs and his back several times.

The man is then seen getting off the bus after the incident.
