This is a case of an assault and a theft of a mobile phone, which occurred on a bus in Sutton Lane on 27th November 2005 between 8.25pm and 8.35pm.

The victim was on a H28 bus along Sutton Lane when it stopped at traffic lights at the Great West Road (A4) junction. The victim was talking on his mobile phone when he saw the suspect on the pavement. The suspect came onto the bus and walked up to the victim and said in an aggressive manor, 'what the **** are you saying' and proceeded to punch the victim with his fist.
