At roughly 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday monring, police were called to a “serious assault” against a bus driver near Lochside Drive and Bakerview Place in North Saanich.

When officers arrived, they found that the bus driver had suffered injuries to his face. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
