The victim was killed on the 472 bus on Woolwich Church Street near the junction with the A205 South Circular Road in London.. Police have stepped up patrols in the area, with Sargent saying it will be 'a worrying time... all the more so given the very young age of the victim.'Local MP Matthew Pennycook said he was 'deeply saddened' by the incident.
