Ulfkotter Straße, 45899 Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - A shocking incident occurred in Gelsenkirchen on Friday evening, November 15, 2024, around 11 p.m. when a bus driver and several passengers were brutally attacked. The stage of this criminal act was Ulfkotter Straße in Hassel, where two unknown attackers crowded into the SB 28 line bus at the "Freiheit" bus stop. They immediately noticed insulting statements compared to other passengers, which escalated the situation and spread a feeling of fear.

Regardless of the impending danger, the perpetrators at the “Eppmannsweg” stop at the keeping of the custody of the rear bust door and jumped out. But the 59-year-old bus driver bravely stood against her and tried to take her to reason.
