A man grabbed hold of a bus driver's steering wheel in a bid to take control during an "appalling" rush-hour rampage outside the Queen's Medical Centre. Fortunately, an off-duty police officer managed to detain him before any harm could be done, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Earl Haye, 48, had initially boarded a separate bus and began shouting and swearing at the driver. Sergeant Graham Whitt, who was off-duty at the time, had been sitting at the back of the vehicle and managed to escort him off.
However, Haye then went on to board another bus, where he made the attempt to gain control. Failing that he fled the bus and attempted to enter a number of cars in Derby Road, even smashing the windscreen of a Peugeot 107 by punching it.
