Phone Drop Sparks Violence
It all began when the man heard a younger passenger’s phone drop to the floor. When he asked, “Is that your phone?”, the passenger snapped and followed him off the bus. Outside, the younger assailant launched a savage attack, leaving the victim needing hospital treatment.
