A bus driver was recovering in hospital Friday after being beaten by a passenger at Douglas and Bay streets.
The passenger became upset when the driver said he could not pull over at a decommissioned Victoria bus stop at Douglas and Kings Road about 1:30 p.m., said B.C. Transit spokesman Mike Russell.
“The operator informed the person that he’d have to wait for the next stop,” Russell said.
“The suspect didn’t like that and started to assault the operator while the bus was moving.
“Thankfully, the operator was able to get the bus pulled safely to the side of the road.”
