Woman shows bus driver invalid ticket and hits him
A bus driver was beaten by a woman with a photo of an invalid ticket because she refused to travel with him. As the police reported on Friday, the driver of the bus in Donauwörth (Donau-Ries district) had tried to explain to the woman on Wednesday that she could not travel like that. The woman then became loudly upset and hit the 34-year-old man in the head with her fist.
The bus driver was injured as a result and sought medical treatment. The police investigated the initially unidentified woman on suspicion of attempted fare evasion and assault.
The incident in Donauwörth highlights the increasing instances of crime on public transportation. In another incident from Swabia, a traffic officer was assaulted while issuing a fine for a violation.
