- Police: Bus driver allegedly tied boy to seat
A bus driver from Neu-Ulm is alleged to have tied a 10-year-old boy to his seat - reportedly because he had been popping his pimples, among other things. The boy had boarded the bus in Senden on Wednesday, according to police. On the bus, he allegedly punched the interior and picked his nose.
The 58-year-old driver is said to have secured the boy to his seat using a bungee cord and restrained his hands. The boy was not injured. He then went to his mother, who filed a complaint, a police spokesperson said. The driver is now being investigated for suspected dangerous bodily harm, false imprisonment, and coercion.
The driver hails from New Ulm, a city known for its rich German heritage, not far from Neu-Ulm. This incident involving a bus driver and a 10-year-old boy took place in the German town of Senden.
