Police's Changing Statements About Bus Driver's Arrest

Version 1:
From the live broadcast provided by the police force on Sept 6, the officers at the scene reprimanded the bus driver for "honking for no reason" and being "provocative toward the police". The police claimed that the bus driver's behaviour "affected the police operation severely" and "might incite onlookers", so that the police had to stop the bus.

Version 2:
On their Facebook page, the police force on Sept 6 did not mention the honk, but accused the driver of "dangerous driving". This was said to be the reason why the police intercepted the bus.

Version 3:
On the morning of Sept 7, police replied to a media inquiry, stressing that the bus driver was arrested for "dangerous driving". The police, however, added that they found a spanner in the belongings of the bus driver. The police, meanwhile, arrested him for possession of "offensive weapon".

Editor's note:
According to the New World First Bus Company Staff Union, it is common for bus drivers to carry a spanner with them, as it is a tool for calibrating the rear mirror.

On Sept 9, the New World First Bus Company said records show the bus driver was driving at about 10 to 35 km per hour at the time when police accused him of "dangerous driving".
