“The passenger left the scene before the police arrived and was last seen by witnesses walking on Mt Eden Rd. “The bus driver was assessed by ambulance staff and while she is suffering from some discomfort, there are no significant ongoing effects,” Darvill said. Police and Auckland Transport (AT) are supporting the driver in her recovery. “The issue of community safety and antisocial behaviour extends well beyond public transport,” an AT spokesperson said. Police guard the scene on Nehu St, Ōrākei, related to a fatal stabbing of a bus passenger in Glen Innes last month.
