- description: A BUS passenger was temporarily blinded with pepper spray and subjected to a prolonged beating after asking a man to stop children throwing sweets at him -- now police have released CCTV footage of the attack in the hope of tracing the thug. The 21-year-old was travelling on the top deck of the No 24 bus along Birmingham's Broad Street when he was set upon by a man -- believed to be the two children's father -- who lashed out with a series of punches, knees and kicks. The offender squirted pepper spray in the man's eyes before both he and a woman tormented him with sporadic physical and verbal outbursts over a seven-minute period. The victim, from Birmingham's Woodgate area, suffered a badly broken nose and other facial injuries during the January 11 assault. Anyone who believes they recognise the attacker is urged to call West Midlands Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
