Police have arrested a youth who broke a bus window with a baton at the Hamilton terminal yesterday afternoon.

No one was hurt in the incident but the bus was put out of action and commuters travelling to St. George's were delayed.

The duty supervisor, who did not wish to give his name, said incidents with unruly youths were an almost daily occurrence.

He said the bus was empty at the time the youth smashed a side window.

“That's at least 38 people who will have a long wait after doing a hard day's work. It's ridiculous, every day something happens. There should be a curfew,” the supervisor said.

“Every day there's mobs of loud kids. They don't have respect for people. Even the girls are cursing.”

The youth, who was taken away for questioning, was not wearing a school uniform.
