Three young men assaulted and robbed an Arab bus driver overnight in Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood.

Ahmad Shehadeh, who works for the Extra bus company, was hospitalized with a broken nose after he was attacked at around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. The assailants choked, punched and kicked the driver, then stole his phone after disembarking, the Bus Drivers Association said in a statement.

“I don’t get how we’ve reached this point where we [bus drivers] have to be everyone’s punching bag,” said the attacked driver in an official statement from the Bus Drivers Association. “When will they wake up? Only when one of us dies?”
