Family seeks help to identify woman after bus assault

Family seeks help to identify woman after bus assault

The family of the 20-year-old woman who was assaulted by another woman on a bus travelling from Laucala Bay to the Suva Bus Stand is seeking the public's assistance to identify the attacker.

A relative of the 20-year-old university student told fijivillage News that they have received information about the woman's whereabouts and have passed it to Police.

He says his sister-in-law is recovering from the ordeal after suffering injuries during the assault.

The relative says her nose was bleeding, her face was scratched, and she hit the back of her head on the metal part of a bus seat during the incident.

In a video sent to fijivillage News by the relative, the woman is seen pulling the younger woman's hair.

She then gets out of her seat, appears to have a verbal argument with other passengers, walks to the front of the bus, pushes another female high school student out of her seat, and then gets off the bus.

The student's brother-in-law says the assault was unprovoked and they do not know each other. 

He says the matter has been reported at the Suva Market Police Post and a medical examination has also been done. 

Police are investigating the matter.
