Mask requirement in public transport: Biker group becomes aggressive and attacks bus drivers
The group of 14 from a
motorcycle club got
on the bus around 6 p.m.
One of the men had
forgotten
his
mask
and tried
to cover
it up with a
scarf
.
The
men reacted to
the first
warning from
the bus driver with
insults of
the
"bad kind"
as reported by the Passauer Neue Presse.
Thereupon, probably as a sign of solidarity, the other men tore their masks from their mouths.

The bus driver (52) then refused the entire group to
ride
, whereupon two or three bikers
attacked
the man
and tried
to pull
him
outside
through the
driver's door
window
.
When this attempt failed, the attackers
fled
.
The bus driver suffered
minor injuries in
the incident
.
The bus was also
damaged.
The police have now started
investigations
into dangerous
bodily harm
, insults, property damage and violations of the
Infection
Protection Act.
The group of
bikers
had taken refuge in the nearby forest - due to
excessive alcoholism
, however, two of the men could still be found.
Now the rest of the group is to be determined.
Since the beginning of the mask requirement, bus drivers have repeatedly fallen victim to aggressive mask refusers.
In Germany, for example, a driver was seriously injured in Oldenburg.
An attack on a bus driver in France ended particularly tragically.
The man died.
