Passengers huddled in fear and some of them even cried as the driver of a car involved in a collision with the bus they were on this afternoon got out of his car and started hitting the bus with a crowbar.

A passenger said the car driver also threw a dustbin at the bus and ignored his girlfriend who tried to calm him down.

An earlier report said that the two drivers got involved in a fist fight after the accident but the passenger said the bus driver did not leave the bus.

The incident happened at 12.45pm in Labour Avenue, Naxxar when a Peugeot 607 car driven by a 31-year-old from Valletta collided head on with a bus driven by a 31-year-old from Żabbar. The bus was in service and none of the passengers were hurt. 

Police told Times of Malta the argument was soon resolved but the bus driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries. 

Police are investigating.
