## Resource

A bus driver in Te Atatū was violently attacked by a suspect who followed the vehicle after a traffic spat on Alderman Drive. The assailant, using a rental car, jumped on the bus, assaulted the driver, and fled — leaving the victim with facial injuries but now recovering at home. Police swiftly tracked down the vehicle and arrested a 34-year-old man in Māngere. He’s set to appear in court today facing charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Authorities are sending a clear message: violence on public transport will not be tolerated. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
