A man has been charged in connection with a serious assault on a bus driver in Monaghan yesterday.

At around 3pm on Sunday afternoon, it’s alleged that a Syrian national tried to board a McGinleys bus to Dublin.

It’s alleged the man then assaulted the bus driver when he was told that the bus was full, breaking his nose and causing serious injury to the bus driver’s head. He’s been remanded in Cloverhill to appear in court in Monaghan this Friday.
