Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect after a bus driver was allegedly attacked in Dartmouth earlier this month.
Halifax Regional Police responded to the bus terminal on Nantucket Avenue before 9:30 p.m. on July 8.
Police say the 44-year-old bus driver got out of his bus to break up a fight between two young women, but he was quickly surrounded by a group of youths.
Police allege three males assaulted the driver, knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the face.
The suspects fled the scene when other bus drivers stepped in to help.
The bus driver was taken to the Dartmouth General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries to his face. He has since been released.
An 18-year-old Sackville man has been charged with assault causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance in connection with the incident.
A 20-year old Halifax man is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court in August to face a charge of assault causing bodily harm.
Police have released a photo of a third suspect wanted in connection with the assault.
Anyone with information on the incident or the suspect’s identity is asked to contact police.
