London Bus: Man Arrested After Woman Attacked

[Jazzy]

A 26-year-old man has been arrested after a woman was attacked on a bus by a gang who knocked her unconscious and poured a drink over her head.

CCTV shows the 22-year-old victim sitting with a friend on the top deck of a London bus when a group of five men boarded and sat in seats next to them.

Words were exchanged, with a row escalating when some of the men criticised what the woman was wearing.

One man poured a drink over the victim and pulled her hair, while another member of the group appeared to grab at her from behind as his friends looked on laughing.

The woman got up from her seat but was pushed and kicked in the stomach.

She hit her head as she fell backwards and was left sprawled unconscious on the floor of the bus.

Paramedics took the woman to St Thomas' Hospital and she was treated for her head injury and released later the same day.

The attack took place at about 1.15am on August 29 on the bus, which was heading towards Clapham Junction.

The man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after attending a police station in south London.

Kind of sounds like that new "knockout game" that's been happening all over the US.

Not safe on any transport in London. I hate London.

Punk and I'm glad they caught and arrested him.

Have you ever had an altercation there?

No, but I keep my head down and try to blend in. My ex almost caused a fight in a shop by swearing at some indians, calling them offensive names etc. We got kicked out. And I dumped him when we got back to Norwich.

Really? Sounds like a racist jerk.
