An M1 MetroBus was attacked in the early hours of Saturday morning (April 9) on the Bristol Portway. Luckily there were no passengers on board and the driver escaped uninjured despite damage to the vehicle, according to the service operator HCT.
The impact shattered the passenger doors but it is believed the culprit was stood some distance away when they took aim. It is not yet clear what was used to cause the damage, but CCTV footage is currently being reviewed by Bristol Community Transport and the local authorities.
General manager for the HCT group in the South West, Jimmy Summerville, said: "This was the second incident we've had on the Portway in two months. Luckily the driver was coming back to the depot with no passengers on board as the out of service sign was on but this is not something I expected any of my staff to go through."
