POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a Mini blocked a bus’s path in Greenwich and two people hurled racist insults at the bus driver.

Two passengers of a yellow Mini pulled in front of the 286 bus before boarding it using the vehicle’s emergency door button and reportedly racially abusing the driver on August 3.

The bus driver was trying to pull out of a stop by the East Greenwich Library in Woolwich Road, travelling between Greenwich towards Westcombe Park, when the incident took place.

CCTV images show a man and a woman who police would like to speak to in connection with the racially aggravated incident.
