The passenger was temporarily blinded with pepper spray and punched and kicked on the top deck of the No 24 bus travelling along Broad Street.

It happened after the 21-year old asked the man - believed to be the father of two children - to stop them throwing sweets.

The offender squirted pepper spray in the man's eyes before both he and a woman tormented him with sporadic physical and verbal outbursts over a seven-minute period.

The victim, from the Birmingham's Woodgate area, suffered a badly broken nose and other facial injuries during the January 11 assault.

Anyone who believes they recognise the attacker is urged to call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
