838 violent incidents in 107 days on London buses
 

The scale of violence on London's buses is revealed today. An average
of eight crimes such as stabbings, sexual assaults and beatings are
reported each day - as well as 160 cases of criminal damage, fights,
fare disputes and drunken clashes.

Documents seen by the Evening Standard show an increasing use of
knives and the involvement of teenagers. There is an upsurge of
disturbances between 3pm and 5pm as pupils go home from school. All
pupils and students under 18 travel free on London buses. But violent
crime is happening at all times of the day - even during the rush
hour. The figures come after Mayor Boris Johnson promised to increase
the presence of uniformed police and police community support officers
on buses.

Internal TfL documents detail every "code red", when bus controllers
at TfL's CentreComm are told by drivers or members of the public of
crime, vandalism and disorder. In 107 days this year 838 violent
incidents were recorded, along with hundreds more incidents of
disturbance and criminal damage. These included:

• Six youths in Barking on board a No287 stabbing a 25-year-old man in
the head at 7pm.

• A driver was stabbed in the head and arms by two youths wearing
hoods on the N369 in Barking at 2.31am.

• A 40-year-old man being attacked by eight youths on a No 18 bus and
stabbed in the head in Hillside, Stonebridge Park.

• 15-year-old girl threatening a 16-year-old boy with a kitchen knife
on the HA4 in west London at 11am.

• The driver of a No199 being threatened with a knife by youths
demanding money after they opened the emergency doors at Canada Water
station at 11.32am.

• A driver on the No31 in Maida Hill chased off his bus by a gang of
youths, at least one of whom had a knife, at around 10pm.

• A gang of four youths hitting a 65-year-old woman on the back of the
head on the 177 in Greenwich at 8.23pm.

• More than 20 youths assaulting a man and woman on a No 337 bus in
Putney at 4.17pm.

• Ten youths attacking a 20-year-old man on the No174 in Romford at
11pm.

• Four boys with a dog attacking a man on a 436 in Peckham High Street
at 2.54pm.

The reports shows bus drivers are often in the line of fire with
passengers hurling food, cans and other missiles at them. There are
instances where drivers have been sprayed with fire extinguishers and
CS gas.

As you can see from the London Evening Standard report no immigrants
were involved in any of the incidents.

Seems pretty reasonable - with 2-3 million bus passengers per day (c.
2 billion journeys per year, most of which are returns), a 0.0084%
chance of being a victim of any crime, and a 0.00042% chance of being
a victim of serious crime, are pretty good odds.

The man standing at the back of the Clapham Omnibus is playing Shaggy
or something else suitably "urban" at 140 dB through a ****ty mobile
phone loudspeaker and glaring at you menacingly before throwing his
rubbish around the bus and saying "fock, fock" to his hooded
neighbour. Nice.

Agreed, except for "menacingly". "In a pathetic attempt to appear
menacing", perhaps.

(also "boy" rather than "man" is probably more apt).

Either shops are refusing to sell headphones to teenagers or they do
it on purpose just to **** everyone off or hoping for a argument so
they can prove themselves to their mates. My guess is the latter.

So he's the one of four in a million who gets involved in anything...

Silly man...

You're much more likely to end up falling under a bus than get stabbed
riding one...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
