A WOMAN bus passenger was injured when she fell from her seat on board a bus which came under attack from young thugs.

The 74-year-old sustained bruising to her leg and chest and was treated in hospital.

The incident happened on Saturday afternoon (Sept 21) at the junction of Dumers Lane and Riverside Road, Radcliffe.

Police say she fell after the driver of single-decker First Manchester bus was forced to brake hard to avoid a group of stone-throwing youngsters.
