Bus drivers 'at risk of attack'
Drivers are at increasing risk of violent attacks, according to a Nottingham bus company.

Nottingham City Transport is investing in more security screens to protect drivers, but says many are being hurt, and taking time off for stress.

Manager Barry Birch said one of his staff may never drive again after a youth hit him in the eye with a bag.

"The lad is off sick and there is the possibility there is irreparable damage to his eye," Mr Birch explained.
