A minibus driver was arrested and immediately charged after a teen in school uniform was seen clinging on to the back of his bus while it was in motion.
The minibus operator was charged, Police say, after they saw a Facebook post circulating on the social media platform of the youth dangerously slinging behind a moving Route 40 minibus that was overloaded.
“The Police managed to arrest the driver of the minibus. The vehicle was also impounded at the Traffic Headquarters, Eve Leary,” a release from the Police read.
