A bus driver was attacked while on a break parked in a layby in Sheffield.

The driver was assaulted at about 16:15 BST on Wednesday by a man who boarded the bus outside a convenience store on Cottam Road.

The man asked to be taken to Chapeltown and when the driver said he was on a break, the man punched him in the face injuring his nose, police said.
