THE man who attacked a woman bus driver on Route 116 was arrested today on charges of disturbing public order.

The driver Zhou Weiqin, 42, suffered from fractures and bruises and has left the hospital for further recovery at home.
Despite his depression, the 33-year-old offender should still be punished for his criminal act, Baoshan District prosecutors said.
According to the Criminal Law, those who disturb the public order will be given a sentence of up to five years in prison.
