Passengers stepped in and threw a man off a bus after he racially abused a woman.
Sussex Police said: “We are appealing for witnesses to a report of racially aggravated assault on a Brighton and Hove bus in Ditchling Road, Brighton.
“The incident took place on Friday 3 October at around 4.35pm.
“It was reported that a man verbally assaulted a woman on the 26 bus.
“An altercation then broke out between the man and another man.
“Two further men physically removed the man from the bus at the Prince’s Crescent bus stop, in Ditchling Road, opposite the Roundhill pub.
“Red paint was sprayed on to and in the bus.
“The man then left the scene.
“He is described as being around 5ft 7in and aged between 55 and 60.
“He was wearing a beige baseball cap, blue coat and was carrying a rucksack.
“Officers are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry and we are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident or who has relevant information such as CCTV or mobile footage to report it to us.
“Information can be reported online or by phoning 101, quoting serial 941 of 03/10.”
That be another of Englands “finest” seems to be no shortage of them handing out their crap
Indeed. This country is going downhill
but praise for the other passengers who stepped in
I take solace in knowing that there are still plenty of people out there who not only deplore hatred, but actively take a stand when they see it in front of them.
Got bored with defacing public property with idiotic flags I expect.
Love Brighton.
Idiots like that will never win here.
Last time I checked 99% of people used debit cards to pay for the bus and the bus has CCTV. I don’t think it would be particularly difficult for the bus company to pass this information on to the police would it.
Where CCTV
I was told recently.that there are 17 cameras on each bus covering inside and out.
Look up and you’ll see them at various points – usually a small black dome.
Also a few around the outside of the bus
You can see one in the image, just to the right of the the word “Year” on the bus decals.
