Ohh yeah,story number two. One of the guys from my martial arts classes "elevated" a situation and spat into a bus drivers face on a red light, after he got cut up by the guy.
He then cycled off and thought he got away fine, but two red lights later he turns around and the guy is right behind him, swinging some heavy blunt thing right in direction of his head. How he managed to get off the bike and throw his had right into the guys face I don't know. Bus driver ended up on the floor and with a broken hand (because it was stepped on).
Last thing I heard was that the guy from my training only got of the hook by an inch. They wanted to charge him with assault, and let the bus driver go uncharged, but he requested CCTV footage, and it was in broadgate or holborn or somewhere where there's CCTV all over the shop, and it clearly showed the guy assaulting him. Still he got charged with minor assault for the spitting. Not sure what happened to the bus driver.
Yes, I know that people like that never should drive a bus, but then again If he'd just sneered, that whole situation wouldn't have happened in the first place, and it would have saved time and money.
