ESSEX Police are investigating an incident that took place on a bus in Harlow Town Centre last week.

A video, which has been shared on social media, appears to show an Arriva bus supervisor instructing a passenger to leave. He is also seen remonstrating with a man outside the bus.

Another person, YH understands to be the bus driver appears to suggest that the males are accusing her of being a racist.

An Essex Police spokesperson said: “We were called to a public order incident in Terminus Street, Harlow, at about 3.05pm on Thursday 21 September.

A caller reported an argument between three people on a bus where a member of the public also reported being assaulted.

“Officers are making enquiries and the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

A spokesperson for Arriva South said: “This video is a snapshot of an incident on a bus in which a supervisor intervened after a bus driver had been intimidated by some passengers on this and on previous occasions.

“No Arriva employee deserves to be threatened in any way during the course of their duties. Sadly, this is a situation that seems to becoming more and more prevalent.

“However, we acknowledge that the manner in which the situation was dealt with could have been handled far better and we are following our own internal policies starting with a formal investigation into the matter which will ensure that the appropriate action is taken.”
