A reminder to put on a face mask angered a passenger so much, he rained punches on the bus captain.

Without wearing a mask, the man boarded bus service 21 at a bus stop along Pasir Ris Drive 6 yesterday (Sept 15) afternoon.

He only put it on after getting on the bus and started to hurl vulgarities at the bus captain, SBS Transit said in a Facebook post. The verbal abuse continued as the vehicle travelled for two more bus stops.

After alerting the police to the incident, the bus stalled at a bus stop along Pasir Ris Drive 1 to wait for officers to arrive. This was when the passenger grabbed the bus driver’s neck and collar, holding on for more than a minute.

He refused to let go despite the latter’s pleas.
