Disturbing footage has captured the moment a Brisbane bus driver was brutally attacked by a passenger.

No charges have been laid over the incident.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner called the incident “deeply disturbing” in a post to social media on Saturday afternoon.

“No one deserves to face violence in their workplace, especially from a single individual whose reckless actions endangered the safety of everyone on board,” Mr Schrinner wrote.

“My thoughts are with the bus driver who was subjected to this appalling and completely unacceptable attack while simply doing his job.”

Mr Schrinner added Brisbane was a “friendly city” where everyone deserved to feel safe.

“While we have strong safety protections for our bus drivers, we shouldn’t need them which is why we continue to stand up for Brisbane against crime to keep our community safe,” he said.

The video was circulated across social media over the weekend, with many labelling the conduct “unacceptable”.

“No one helps him … feeling really bad after seeing this video,” one person commented.

“Bloody disgrace. Get in there and help him,” another said.

Anyone with information or footage has been urged to contact police.
