Man assaulted bus driver, court hears

Thursday, 29 August 2024 08:55

A man who assaulted a bus driver during a violent spree will be sentenced in October.

28 year old Connor Thomas Collister of Mona Street in Douglas appeared at Douglas Courthouse.

He admitted assault and threatening behaviour on July 15 - the hearing was told he'd grabbed the driver after being refused a free ride, and later that day he threw a metal barrier at a man at the Brown Bobby filling station while swearing and kicking the shop door.

He was bailed until he appears again for sentencing on October 22.
