General Omnibus Company was severely manhandled by several passengers at about 4.30 p.m. on Friday when he insisted that they pay their fares for travelling in a Route No. 2 bus.
The incident took place just before Szechuen Road bridge, the terminus of the line, after the passengers refused to pay their fares. The inspector insisted on his rights and was manhandled by the hooligans, sustaining severe injuries to his face and hands.
The arrival of Sikh and Chinese constables put a stop to the fight and five of the offenders were arrested by the police. Several others, however, made their escape.
The case was being investigated by the police yesterday, but no motive for the assault was given.
