Police are appealing for public assistance after a woman spat on a bus driver in Sydney’s CBD yesterday.
About 5pm (Wednesday 6 May 2020), a woman boarded a bus stopped on Eddy Avenue in Haymarket while carrying a dog.
The bus driver, a man aged 44, advised her that dogs were not permitted onboard the bus and that he would call police if she didn’t alight.
