The attack happened when the pair were making their way home on a Go North West service in Middleton
A mother and her nine-year-old son have described how they were left traumatised when a brick was thrown through a bus window during a ride home from school.
Trouble erupted after the bus driver refused to allow youths onto the number 18 service when they refused to pay. One of them threw a brick which smashed through the window where the boy was sitting, his mother said.The brick did not hit them. It landed beside them but they were covered in glass, they said. The bus company described the incident a a 'senseless act of vandalism'.
His mother described how, moments before the brick came through the window, the driver has slammed on the brakes and she had hit her head on a pole in front of her which houses the stop button, leaving her crying in pain and shock. She said four youths had come onto the bus but the driver ejected three of them for refusing to pay. The Manchester Evening News has agreed not to name mother and son.
