At about 12.45pm on Wednesday, April 6 the Stagecoach staff member was at the bus stop in Devonshire Road,, when a woman struck him on his left arm with a walking stick as she tried to board a bus.

The inspector left the scene, but when he returned about 15 minutes later the woman again struck him with the stick, this time to the side of his body.

The woman, believed to be in her early 60s, then stepped into the road and laid down. Police were called and took her home.

The bus inspector had no visible injuries.

A Sussex Police spokesman said; “No criminal proceedings have been started at this time, but these incidents took place at a busy time of day and anyone who saw what happened is asked to contact the Bexhill Police Neighbourhood Response Team on 0845 60 70 999, quoting serial 0651 of April 6.”
