Nearly 5,000 incidents of bus drivers being attacked have been revealed by Conservatives on the Greater London Assembly. <\/p>\n
Figures uncovered by the City Hall Tory group's police and crime spokesman, Roger Evans, show 4,967 incidents were reported between 2010 and 2013. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Four in 10 (38 per cent) of these incidents involve bus drivers being either physically assaulted or threatened with a weapon. <\/p>\n
Mr Evans said: The number of bus drivers facing physical attack or verbal abuse on Londons bus network is alarming. <\/p>\n
\"Nobody should have to put up with threats or violence while doing their job. I fully appreciate that money has been invested in patrols on our buses by the police however we need to go further.\" <\/p>\n
Mr Evans has called for a full review of policing across public transport in London and \"well-publicised sting operations\" to deter further abuses. <\/p>\n
