A video of an assault on the driver of a police bus that was traveling in front of it has been circulating on social media.
The incident took place on 05-05 at around 6.00 pm near the Ganemulla Cushion Works near the Yakkala junction on the Colombo-Kandy road.
Due to the Covid epidemic, police buses have been deployed at the Police Headquarters these days. The driver of the bus bearing number NB 0302 has behaved in this manner.
The bus was traveling on the Colombo-Kandy main road on the afternoon of the 5th when several attempts were made to overtake a car in the Yakkala area. But the driver of the car failed to allow him to overtake.
He was able to accommodate the bus near the Ganemulla Cushion Works. The video shows the police bus being stopped in front of the car, a group of people including the driver getting off, scolding the driver of the car, removing his car key and throwing it into a nearby ditch.
The YouTube channel had recorded a video of another motorcyclist claiming that the bus had traveled in a very careless manner after inquiring about the incident from the driver of the car.
Earlier in the day, a police bus traveling on the Gampaha-Minuwangoda road had overtaken a private bus on Route 244 in the Dombawala area Had.
