    SHOCKING footage has emerged of a bus driver allegedly being assaulted by a man in front of stunned passengers.

    A video clip that was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday night shows a man repeatedly pleading with a Dublin Bus driver, who is saying no.

    It is unclear what they are disagreeing over but the man then appears to punch the driver several times, while shocked onlookers are heard shouting "help him".

    The member of the public, who is dressed in a black t-shirt and baseball hat, is then filmed being pulled off the bus and restrained by several bystanders.

    The incident happened on the Dublin Bus Route 184 from the city centre to Newtownmountkennedy in Co Wicklow at around 3pm on May 4.

    A spokeswoman for Dublin Bus told Independent.ie: "This incident took place on Friday 4 May at approximately 15.00 on Route 184 travelling towards Newtownmountkennedy.

    "An Garda Síochána attended the scene and CCTV footage from the bus has been downloaded and made available to them."

    It actually looks like the bus driver raised his hand first and maybe brushed off the right hand side of yer mans head.

    If that’s how the chap reacts to his face being brushed against then he should be put down.

    Just normal. Scumbags smashing up supermarkets, smashing up housing estates in cars, open drug use, members of Fire brigade, Gardai, etc. etc.

    This is the state of affairs. Scumbags doing what they want knowing they can get away with it.

    I don't take buses any more because I live near a DART or cycle and I'm generally just too good for buses, but when I was a kid going to school, the buses that went out my way nearly always had people smoking on them, cigarettes and that horrible 90s soap bar that was all you could get at the time! Surely it's not like that any more?
