Woman ‘targeted by sexual comments’ before fight on Kirkcaldy bus

A woman says she was the target of sexual comments before a fight broke out on a bus in Kirkcaldy.

Police were forced to stop a Stagecoach East number 7 service on Kinghorn Road just before 3pm on Wednesday.

Video footage captured on the bus shows a group of individuals fighting on the upper level of the double-decker.

The woman was travelling on the bus.

She said: “As soon as I had stepped on the bus three guys were harassing me.

“They commented on my body then proceeded to sit directly behind me.

“Then when I rejected their comments they sat at the back of the bus again and shouted insulting remarks at me.”

She added: “They then went on to insult another passenger, which caused the fight to break out.

“The bus driver heard the fighting and came upstairs and phoned the police.”
