Bus driver arrested for ordering 11-year-old off bus for not wearing mask

A bus driver is expected to be taken before a prosecutor on Saturday on suspicion of exposing a minor to danger after he ordered an 11-year-old passenger off his bus because the child was not wearing a mask.

Police arrested the driver on Friday in Oreokastro, outside Thessaloniki, after the child’s parents pressed a lawsuit.

Passengers on public transport in Greece are required to wear a mask to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
