City police are investigating the overnight assault of a Calgary Transit driver in the northeast.
Duty Inspector Paul Stacey tells 660News the incident took place shortly after midnight, in Falconridge.
Stacey says, “The transit driver called in a code yellow and then his radio went dead, so there was no more communication between them.”
When police arrived at 80th Avenue and 52nd Street northeast, they discovered the driver had been assaulted and the radio smashed up.
The driver had been punched in the face but didn’t require attention from EMS.
Police have no idea what provoked the attacked, but are looking for three assailants.
They brought in the K9-Unit as part of their search, but came up empty-handed.
