Apology for assaulted visually impaired teenager

The Stagecoach bus company says it will apologise to the family of a visually impaired boy who was assaulted by a fellow passenger after the bus driver questioned his blind person's pass.
Police say the 14-year-old boy was hit around the head and dragged off the bus by another passenger on Monday night after the driver said he wasn't the pass holder.


Both police and the bus company have launched investigations.

Eddie Mcaffrey from Stagecoach says this is the third time his drivers have questioned the boy's pass and he is very sorry.

Mcaffrey says he will consider extra training for his drivers.
