A man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being hit in the face by a brick hurled at a bus in Doncaster.

Police have launched an appeal to track down the culprits responsible for the attack on the bus as it made its way through Armthorpe.

The incident happened last month, but South Yorkshire Police have only just released details of the incident.

A spokesman said: “It is reported that on Monday 23 October around 6pm, a First Bus was travelling along Beech Road in Armthorpe when it was hit by bricks.

Police have launched an investigation into the attack.

“A passenger who was on the bus at the time received serious injuries to their face and needed to be taken to hospital for treatment.

“An investigation has since been launched and officers are now appealing for anyone with information about this incident to come forward.”

PC Laura Connell, the officer leading the investigation, said: "This was a nasty attack that left a man with a serious head injury which needed hospital treatment.

"We will not tolerate attacks of this nature and we are now asking the public to help us identify those responsible."
