Police have arrested a teenager after she was caught on CCTV allegedly punching an 87-year-old woman in the face on a bus. The
unnamed 87-year-old had intervened when the driver confronted the
suspects after they boarded the 166 bus on Brighton Road, Coulsdon,
south London but refused to pay.
Footage of the incident shows the 87-year-old stand up to speak to the teenagers at around 3.20pm on Friday, October 16.
Most of the passengers then left the bus after the girls began arguing with the driver and the elderly victim.
One girl then appears to throw a punch and the 87-year-old woman is shown holding her face.
Both girls, described as black and aged between 14 and 18, ran away from the bus.
Detectives
said the elderly victim had 'just wanted to get home' but was left with
a black eye when two grinning young women verbally abused her and then
attacked her.
Scotland Yard said today they had arrested a 14-year-old on suspicion of ABH and were pursuing her alleged accomplice.
