A trip home from Newcastle's New Year's Eve celebrations aboard the Swansea Heads 350 service has been dubbed a "bus ride from hell" after commuters were threatened and abused by a group of drunken teenagers.
Several youths boarded the bus at Charlestown, and proceeded to abuse an elderly lady after she asked them to stop swearing.
Another heavily intoxicated commuter got into a physical altercation with a fellow passenger, prompting the bus to pull over, after which, the scuffle ensued on the side of the road.
A spokesperson for State Transit says CCTV footage is currently being reviewed, and the incident is being investigated by police.
