A
bus driver
in Mar del Plata was attacked by two passengers who
refused to use the chinstrap.
The driver suffered multiple cuts to his face, blows to one of his eyelids and a
broken nose
, which should be operated on in the next few hours.
The savage attack occurred this Wednesday morning when two rebellious passengers boarded
intern 178 of line 554
in the vicinity of Jara and Vértiz avenues, in the Bernardino Rivadavia neighborhood of the seaside resort.
According to the victim himself told site
0223,
the attack came moments after the driver
repeatedly
asked them to
put on the mask inside the bus.
"They came from the back of the bus and hit me on the plastic screen.
When I turned my head the light went out,
" the bus driver recalled.
The driver of the company 25 de Mayo was given
three stitches in the
upper
eyelid
of one of his eyes.
He also suffered multiple cuts to his face and a broken septum, which will require surgery.
A similar case - although it did not end in an attack - occurred
two weeks ago
in the City of Buenos Aires, on the General Paz avenue collector, at the intersection with San Martín avenue at the height of Villa Madero.
A 31-year-old man was forced by the City Police to get off a bus for not wanting to wear a mask.
The "authorized" rebel
The driver not only filmed everything with his cell phone, but he was the one who
notified the agents
that the passenger refused to put on the mask.
According to that complaint, they were ten minutes
late on the journey
because the man did not want to comply with the mandatory regulations in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
A 31-year-old man refused to wear the mask to ride the bus.
The City Police had to take him down.
The passenger alleged that the use of the mask is "
unconstitutional
" and that it hurts, and
referred to having documentation
that allowed him to circulate without a mask.
"Put on your mask, champion,"
the driver asked while the man tried to find the alleged "legal paper" on his cell phone that inhibited him from wearing a mask: "Because I can't use it."
He wanted at all costs to show it to the Police, while the agent warned him: "
There is no document that qualifies you
."
The bus driver, ironic, at the insistence of illegality, sent him to speak to President Alberto Fernández.
While the passenger asked for the return of the value of the ticket and
threatened to sue the driver
and the bus company.
