  • 3 teens allegedly assaulted on a bus: Nanaimo RCMP

The Nanaimo R-C-M-P have released a photo as they seek help identifying a man who allegedly assaulted three teens on a bus late last month. 

Mounties say R-D-N Transit reported that there was an interaction between the man and the teens ranging in age from 13 to 16.

They say the suspect stood up and punched the teens repeatedly in the face, before walking over to the exit door and kicking it repeatedly until the driver pulled over and let him out.

Police say the teens sustain some minor cuts, bruising and swelling from the punches.
