A bus driver was assaulted in Mylos, Argolida, while completing the Athens – Leonidio route.

The KTEL bus honked at a car that was blocking its way prompting it to move.

According to argolideseidiseis.gr, the honking seemed to infuriate the passenger in the car, who threw a coffee at the bus driver, exited the vehicle, and a scuffle ensued.

This resulted in injuries to the head and face of the KTEL driver, who received first aid from the Mylos Health Center.

“Out of the blue, he threw coffee at me, cursed me, and hit me. The deputy mayor knows him well; you can go ask the deputy mayor. I honked because he was in the middle of the road, and he came down to confront me. He hit me because I honked at him. I have witnesses, the whole bus,” said the driver.

A KTEL driver arrived at the scene to take over the bus, assisting the injured driver and the passengers who were shocked by the violent incident, with their final destination being Leonidio.

The Argos Security Department is conducting an investigation into the incident.
