Shocking CCTV shows moment teenagers punch an 87-year-old woman in the face after she confronted them for not buying bus tickets 

Detectives said the elderly victim had 'just wanted to get home' but was left with a black eye when two grinning young women attacked her on the 166 bus on Brighton Road, Coulsdon, South London. The unnamed 87-year-old had intervened when the driver confronted the suspects (both right) after they got on board but refused to pay. Footage of the incident shows the 87-year-old stand up to speak to the teenagers at around 3.20pm on Friday, October 16. Most of the passengers then left the bus after the girls began arguing with the driver and the elderly victim. One girl then throws a punch and the 87-year-old woman is shown holding her face. Both girls, described as black and aged between 14 and 18, ran away from the bus.
