Vashi police has registered a case against a 40-year-old man who attempted to attack a bus driver with a sword. The incident took place on a Monday night when the Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) bus driver suddenly halted to give way to pedestrians. The man, driving a car behind the bus, collided with the rear end of the bus and became agitated upon seeing the damage to his vehicle. He retrieved a sword from his car and attempted to assault the bus driver.

The incident occurred in Sector 10 of Vashi around 10:15 pm. The NMMT bus, carrying passengers from Uran to Koparkhairane, had just departed from the NMMC hospital bus stop. When pedestrians unexpectedly appeared in front of the bus, the bus driver, Suryakant Suravanshi (29), promptly applied the brakes to ensure the safety of the passengers.
