Guelph Police said the two passengers boarded the bus at the downtown Guelph transit hub around 3:30 p.m. and began assaulting the driver by spitting and striking him in the face after he notified them they hadn’t paid the proper fare amount.
The two suspects were later found on a separate GO transit bus in the city and were apprehended by officers. The driver received medical attention for minor facial injuries.
