Mangaluru: In yet another incident of disharmony in the coastal city, miscreants pelted stones at a private bus moving towards Someshwar from Mangaluru via Ullal.
A passenger identified as Vijay, a resident of Someshwar, sustained minor injuries on the face.
The incident took place between Mukkacheri and Ombattukere. The miscreants damaged the window pane of the bus, and Vijay who was sitting at the back of the bus got hit by a splinter on the eye. Luckily, as he had recently undergone an operation, he was wearing dark glasses which prevented any serious injury.
Following the incident, bus drivers held a flash strike in protest, and all buses between Ullal and Someshwara stopped plying for a while.
Ullal police arrived at the spot and registered a case.
