A Guy Allegedly Punched A Quebec Bus Driver In The Face After She Asked Him To Wear A Mask
On September 26, a passenger refused to wear a mask on a local bus and the situation left a Quebec bus driver with a fracture in her face.
According to a news release sent out by the Terrebonne Police, a man entered a bus heading to the train station in Sainte-Thérèse and the driver asked him to put on a mask before entering, so he put a bandana over his face. But throughout the ride, the driver had to remind him to put it on again.
Refusing to do so, the situation escalated into the 38-year-old man allegedly going to the front of the bus while it was stopped, opening the plexiglass that the bus driver was protected by, and punching her in the face.
