Teen charged after Scots bus driver injured by missile at bus window

A teenager has been charged after a Scots bus driver was injured when an object was thrown at his vehicle.

The driver was allegedly attacked while out on a shift in the north east of Edinburgh on Tuesday, March 2nd.

An missile was allegedly thrown at the bus as it made its way down Niddrie Mains Road.

A projectile was launched at the front offside cabin window causing it to shatter.

Luckily, the driver escaped with minor injuries, but police said it could have been "far more serious."

A 15-year-old youth has now been charged in relation to damaging a bus and injuring the bus driver.

Chief Inspector Murray Tait of Leith Police Station said: “Dealing with disorder and antisocial behaviour is a priority for the police in Edinburgh.

"Following our appeal I would like to thank our local community for their assistance with this matter and ask that parents and carers speak to their children and young people about the potential dangers of this kind of behaviour."
