In a dispute over corona masks, several men attacked a bus driver in Spiegelau in Lower Bavaria.

According to the police, the driver asked the men to wear mouth and nose protection in the bus because of the corona virus.

When some of the men refused, the driver threw the group off the bus.

This led to a scuffle: two or three men attacked the bus driver and tried to pull him out of the driver's door window.

However, this attempt failed - the men fled.

The driver suffered minor injuries in the incident on Saturday and the bus was damaged.

Investigations into dangerous bodily harm, insults, property damage and violations of the Infection Protection Act have been initiated.
