Police say they have arrested a man following an alleged assault on a bus driver on Tuesday night.
The incident occurred aboard the 27H bus on Mt Eden Road in Mt Eden, central Auckland, around 6pm on January 13.
Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Darvill says a passenger allegedly became verbally aggressive towards the bus driver.
“He allegedly sprayed the driver with a fire extinguisher before exiting the bus.
“The driver avoided any significant effects, but she was understandably shaken by what occurred.”
Darvill says Avondale Police followed positive lines of enquiry to identify the man, arresting him late last night Wednesday.
The 32-year-old man has been charged with assault with a weapon and endangering transport.
“The man will appear in the Auckland District Court today [January 15] to answer these charges,” Darvill says.
