Tallinja Passenger Assaults & Insults Bus Driver

A video shared to TikTokby user sherm.1423 shows a man yelling at the Tallinja driver, demanding that he open the door.

Hurling racial insults and offensive language, the passenger called the driver names like “filthy Indian animal”, “ugly”, “clown”, “rubbish”, and “bastard”, before physically attacking him.

Despite the driver’s attempt to call the police and warning that he would wait for their arrival before opening the door, the passenger’s aggression escalated. The passenger even threatened to beat the driver, stating that he refrained only to avoid going to prison.

Malta Public Transport swiftly condemned the assault, confirming it occurred around 11am on Route 81 to Valletta. Police reportedly arrived on the scene to address the situation.
