The man, who was threatened repeatedly and does not want to be named, said a group of four youths and a woman tried to get on the bus when it stopped to drop students off on Te Aute Road, in Havelock North, on Thursday afternoon.
Two 15-year old girls and boys aged 12 and 13 have been charged with inciting violence, assault, possession of offensive weapon. One of the girls is also charged with wilful damage. A mother of two of the children has been charged with threatening behaviour toward the driver…
“From what I understand there had been an altercation between some senior students at lunchtime. I spoke to one of them and told them to just stay in his seat and not to look back at the other guy. Unbeknown to me he somehow contacted his family and they were waiting at the stop to storm the bus,” he said.
“I opened the door to let the kids out and they started coming in. I stood up and said ‘what do you want?’. They said ‘we’re coming to smash that f***‘. I tried to be quite polite and get them off the bus. In the end I had to give my phone to one of the students on the bus and told him to call police,” he said…When he was alone outside the bus the youths pulled out knives.
“They walked down the back of the bus and said ‘we’re going to slash your tyres‘. I said ‘go ahead’. Then they went up a driveway and grabbed some rocks and threw them through the windows”. “The kids on the bus were pretty scared…” source
In the 10 minutes it took for the police to arrive, the mob left and returned with weapons and continued smashing windows. Two 15-year old girls and boys aged 12 and 13 have been charged with inciting violence, assault, possession of offensive weapon. The youths and their mother, who has been charged with threatening behaviour, will appear in Hastings District Court next week.
