Our news (reported by Zhang Wei Hua and intern reporter Liu Mu Ge): The afternoon before the day before yesterday, near the Wanchuan River in Haidian District, a Jetta car attempted to overtake and change lanes from the right side of a No. 634 bus when it entered the motor vehicle lane, resulting in a scrape with the bus. Two middle-aged men on the Jetta car, both about 1.7 meters tall, twice knocked down the bus driver who was 1.8 meters tall and relatively muscular. When the passengers reported the incident, the two attackers drove away. Some passengers said that the bus driver did not retaliate during the beating. Currently, the Haidian police are investigating the matter, and the No. 634 bus team is urgently searching for the attackers.

Yesterday afternoon, at Bus Driver Master Liu's home, the reporter saw that he is about 1.8 meters tall and relatively muscular. Master Liu was resting in bed, his right eye swollen with bloodshot eyes, and there were several obvious scratch marks on his face. He said that he had soft tissue contusions in his waist and his vision was also greatly affected, "At about two meters, I can only see vague outlines." Today, he will undergo a forensic examination.

Master Liu said that around two o'clock in the afternoon before the day before yesterday, when he was preparing to stop at the Wanchuan South Station while driving the No. 634 bus, a gray Jetta car drove from the non-motorized vehicle lane into the main road and attempted to change lanes to the right side of the bus. Seeing this, Master Liu stopped to let it pass, but unexpectedly the Jetta car still scraped against the bus. "He climbed in through the window and dragged me out," Master Liu said, after the incident, the Jetta driver was extremely agitated, so he opened the door and prepared to go check the accident situation.

Passenger Ms. Wang from the involved bus said that after Master Liu got out of the car, another man also got out from the passenger seat of the Jetta car. Together with the Jetta driver, they pushed Master Liu to the ground, kicking and punching him while shouting "I'll kill you." Subsequently, the only male passenger on the bus got off to mediate, "but couldn't stop them at all," other elderly and female passengers were unable to help much.

Subsequently, Ms. Wang called the police. At this time, the two attackers tried to drive away. Master Liu got up from the ground and blocked the Jetta car. The two men beat Master Liu again, "the whole process lasted more than ten minutes," Ms. Wang said, eventually the two men drove away from the scene, "but the bus driver didn't retaliate throughout the entire process, I'm willing to testify." After the police arrived, they sent Master Liu to Haidian Hospital, and the passengers left on their own. After the traffic police investigated the scene, the bus staff drove the bus back to the main station.

The Secretary of the Thirteenth Fleet of the Fourth Passenger Branch Company, Liu Dong Tao, introduced that based on the license plate number of the Jetta car provided by the passengers, the fleet has found the owner's information through the police. The data shows that the owner lives in Mentougou District, but calling the registered phone number cannot reach the owner himself, "we hope to contact the attackers as soon as possible to seek justice for Master Liu." Master Liu recalled that the two men looked about thirty or forty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, "I didn't even have time to say a word, they didn't say anything either, and they inexplicably beat me."

Currently, the Haidian police stated that the event is still under further investigation, and they are not suitable to disclose the information of the Jetta car owner. A staff member of the Zhongguancun Traffic Team indicated that after the police station officers determine the responsibility of the attackers, the traffic police will then determine the responsibility of the traffic accident.
