AN INVESTIGATION into an abusive bus driver is still on-going.
Go North East is conducting a thorough investigation into an incident which saw one of their drivers threaten and verbally abuse a young cyclist.
The driver was caught on the cyclist’s helmet camera threatening to break his hand and mimicking his speech impediment after the cyclist accused him of driving dangerously close.
In a video that has been shared online almost 4,000 times, the driver can be seen repeatedly swearing and laughing at the cyclist, who was out training for a charity ride in memory of his brother.
The driver has since been suspended to allow for a full investigation to be conducted.
Today (Friday, September 12), a spokesman for Go North East confirmed that the investigation was still ongoing and said formal procedures were being completed.
