Christmas Eve Horror on Northampton Bus
Northampton police are hunting a thug behind a shocking hate attack on a Stagecoach bus just before Christmas. The frightening incident took place between 1pm and 1.15pm on December 24. A woman and her partner were waiting at a bus stop opposite Asda on Harborough Road, Kingsthorpe, when a stranger confronted her, aggressively asking if she “wanted a fight.”
When she said no, the attacker kept up the intimidation and followed her onto the 4A Stagecoach bus. Out of nowhere, he punched her straight in the face, then bolted off the bus before it left the stop.
