A pregnant mother was pushed off a bus and punched by a man who said there was not enough room on it for a pushchair with her baby in it.

The woman was shoved off the 173 bus at a stop on Ripple Road, in Barking.
A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police said the victim was hit repeatedly and had her mobile phone smashed when she tried to call for help on Monday.

How disgusting someone could do that to any one never mind a pregnant woman with two young children with her. I wonder if he would have been so brave if her partner was with her? What ever happened to the day's where you gave a pregnant lady a seat. When I used public transport I always used to offer my seat to the elderly or pregnant ladies.

I would like to think I would have helped her but as Damien has said I would likely just be sitting there in sheer shock and disbelief as to what I was witnessing.

What a vile creep - lets hope the bus has CCTV - and why did the driver carry on - should someone not have phoned the bill straight away.
