The taxi operator who maliciously damaged a Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) bus last week, has been arrested and charged.

He was intercepted by the police today, during a planned operation.

His arrest follows last Wednesday’s incident along Old Hope Road, in the vicinity of Hope Gardens, in St. Andrew, where he allegedly threw stones at a JUTC bus.

A video of the incident, which surfaced at the weekend, has been circulating on social media. 

Head of the police Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch (PSTEB), Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gary McKenzie, said investigations led to the interception of the accused after the owner of the taxi came forward.
