Man Sprays Tear Gas at Factory Bus Driver in Pazardzhik

A man aged roughly 30 to 40 sprayed tear gas at a bus driver who was transporting workers to a local factory. The incident occurred today in Pazardzhik and is a complaint from passengers on the vehicle. According to MVR-Pazardzhik Regional Directorate spokesperson MiroslavStoyanov, the suspect is being sought.

According to witnesses, the attacker awaited the bus at a stop opposite the retail facility “Billa” on Luben Boyanov Street. When the doors opened and the workers began to disembark, he directed a tear gas spray toward the driver. Contaminated fumes spread through the cabin, and this is the second attack on the same bus on that day.

The first incident was recorded at the starting stop in the trolleybus depot in the Usrem neighborhood, when the attacker appeared at the second door, sprayed and fled, smiling from ear to ear. The police were informed via a 112 emergency signal.

The bus is part of the transportation network of the Kostal plant, where both young and older employees work. Witnesses emphasize that if the situation were to repeat, it would endanger pregnant workers, people with asthma, and other conditions, and they express their disgust at the manner in which the assault was carried out.

It is not yet clear what the attacker’s motives are and what actions the police have taken, as they continue to search for the perpetrator.
