A driver of TEC bus line 33 was attacked Thursday afternoon in Manage (Hainaut). Following this incident, the Center’s network was disrupted on Thursday evening and the emotional movement spread to all of the Hainaut depots on Friday, explained the marketing director and spokesperson for the TEC, Stéphane Thiery.

What followed was an exchange of words which quickly degenerated into blows.“, details Mr. Thiery. The driver was taken care of and examined at the hospital. He mainly suffered from bruises and returned home Thursday evening, continues the spokesperson.
