POLICE have slammed a man photographed “bus surfing” through the Hobart suburb of Moonah with what appears to be a stubby in his hand.

The images, which surfaced on social media yesterday, show the singlet-clad man clinging to the back of a moving Metro bus.

The man gives a thumbs-up sign to motorists and takes a swig of his drink.

Senior Sergeant Luke Manhood said the behaviour was “foolish and dangerous”.

“Not only is the individual putting himself at risk, but if the incident had resulted in him being injured it may have impacted on the bus driver or any other driver involved,” he said.

“This sort of unruly behaviour can also affect how safe those witnessing it feel in public spaces.”

Police are investigating and the man could face more than $1500 in fines.

Travelling on part of a motor vehicle not designed for passengers is against the law.

Police said it appeared the man might have been committing other offences as well.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may know the identity of the individual, is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
