GARDAI investigating damage caused to a bus in Limerick city have
issued a public appeal for information.
CCTV footage from the incident which occurred last October was
broadcast on RTÉ One’s Crime Call programme.
Crime Call is a monthly, hour-long television programme, it plays a
vital role in assisting An Garda SĂochána with ongoing investigations.
Gardai showed a clear image of the man who was wearing a face mask and
are appealing to the public for any information on who he might be.

According to gardai, the man was attempting to get the bus to stop at
O'Connell Avenue, when it was passing by - the bus slowed down but
drove on.
“At the next stop the man gets on and a disagreement with the driver
occurs. The suspect spits at the driver and punches the partition
before he gets off,” garda Greg Freegrove said.
After getting off the man threw an object at the bus causing the glass
door to shatter as the bus drove away.
Garda Freegrove said the picture of the man taken from the security
footage is “quite clear” as the suspect's brown hair and glasses can be
clearly seen along with most of his face despite the face mask.
Anyone who recognises the man on the bus can call any garda station.
