Assault on a bus: A yeshiva student was thrown off a bus by a minority driver - and injured.

The incident occurred last Wednesday. A group of yeshiva students from Jerusalem did a bike ride from Jerusalem to Beit Shemesh. When they arrived in Beit Shemesh, they wanted to return to Jerusalem by bus. However, the buses, which were apparently full, refused to let them on due to the number of bikes they had with them.

Since it was getting late, the boys decided to return to Jerusalem by taxi, along with the bikes, while one of the boys, for whom there was no room in the taxi, would return by bus.

The young man was waiting for a bus at the stop on Yigal Alon Boulevard in Beit Shemesh. However, when the Superbus bus arrived, the driver shouted at him: "You are theirs, don't get on," compared to other passengers who were allowed to get on. The young man, who simply wanted to get home, tried to get on the bus and even started to climb the stairs, but the driver started driving fast, and the young man fell and was injured.

The young man subsequently required medical treatment. He filed a complaint at the Russian Compound police station in Jerusalem.

The police opened an investigation and took testimony from several eyewitnesses who were at the scene.

Superbus' response: "We are awaiting the police's decision and are confident that they will arrive at an investigation into the truth.".
