Driver breaks ankle after being dragged off bus in Nottingham and attacked

A National Express coach driver was left with a broken ankle after being dragged off his bus and assaulted in Nottingham. Police say the coach, bound for Birmingham, was stopped outside Trent House and two men attempted to board it without a valid ticket or enough money to buy one.

The argument eventually saw the two men dragging the driver off the bus and attacking him at the bus shelter in Station Street. The incident happened on June 12, but Nottinghamshire Police has now released CCTV images of two men who officers would like to speak to about the incident.

It happened between 4.35am and 4.50am and Police Constable Joseph Blake, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This was an unpleasant incident and we simply will not tolerate attacks like this on hardworking people who are simply doing their job. We believe the people in these images could have valuable information that could assist our inquiries.

"It is really important that anyone who recognises them gets in touch with us, so that we can ask them some questions." Anyone with any information about the incident should call police on 101, quoting incident number 138 of June 12, 2022.
