"The attack was very one-sided, with the victim having to defend himself by using a bicycle as a makeshift shield, which no doubt saved his life.

"People were stunned. Onlookers and fellow passengers were screaming for help - but it all happened so quickly, there was no time to think clearly. Even in the safety if the bus it was terrifying.
