ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an incident in May where a bus driver was confronted by a male passenger.

About 11:30am on Saturday, 17 May 2025, a man boarded a bus near the Calwell shops.

He refused to pay his fare and became verbally aggressive to the driver. After a short period, he head-butted the glass partition and broke it, causing the glass to shatter over the driver, before fleeing.

The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, approximately 170cm tall (5’7”) with dark facial hair. At the time of the incident he was wearing a black hat, black hoodie, black pants, dark shoes, and was carrying a black bag.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 8051298. Information can be provided anonymously.
