    A man's been arrested - accused of assaulting a bus driver in Auckland's Mt Eden on Tuesday

    A man's been arrested - accused of assaulting a bus driver in Auckland's Mt Eden on Tuesday


    Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Darvill says a passenger the 27H bus allegedly became verbally aggressive towards the driver - about 6pm.

    It's claimed he sprayed her with a fire extinguisher then got off the bus.

    He says the driver avoided any significant effects, but she was understandably shaken.

    A 32-year-old man will appear in the Auckland District Court today - charged with assault with a weapon and endangering transport.
