Late man stood in middle of road and refused to move out of the way of wrong bus

A man caused a stir in Bexleyheath, south east London, on Saturday afternoon by standing in the road and refusing to move out of the way of a bus.

Police officers were forced to confront the man who missed his bus by a few seconds and so ran into the road to stop it.



A stand-off ensued before officers intervened and gave the man 20 seconds to move. However, during the countdown, the man realised it wasn’t his bus after all and moved onto the pavement.

He was heard saying: “I’ve just realised it’s not my bus.” A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Police attended at 2.19pm and removed a man who insisted on standing in front of a bus. He then agreed to move.”
