    Police were called after a chav-cyclist claimed to have made a citizen's arrest on a bus driver in west Hull.

    Writing on social media, the chav-cyclist claimed to have been "nearly wiped out" by the bus while riding on Monday. He said he then pulled up on his chav-bike in front of the bus to stop it.

    The chav-cyclist claimed that he then got on to the bus, announced to the passengers that he believed the driver was "under the influence of alcohol or drugs" and proceeded to make a "citizen's arrest". However, police told Hull Live that "no offences
    of this nature were found to have been committed".

    In his social media post, which was shared publicly, the chav-cyclist said that, after he stopped the bus, about half of the passengers got off and continued their journey on foot. The police then arrived on the scene.

    In a statement, Humberside Police said officers were called on Monday after receiving a "call from a member of the public reporting suspected drink driving". The statement added: "Officers attended and carried out enquiries to understand the
    circumstances surrounding the report.

    "Those involved were spoken to and it was established that no offences of this nature were found to have been committed. Anyone with any information in relation to this incident can call us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 121 of 18 December.
    "

    Stagecoach East Midlands, the bus operator, confirmed that it was investigating the incident. A spokesperson said: "We are aware of the reported incident involving a 'citizen's arrest' on a Stagecoach bus driver in Hull. The complaint has been received
    and logged, and is currently under investigation. We take all complaints extremely seriously and are committed to investigating this thoroughly with those involved."

    Has the chav on the chav-bike received the summons on a charge of
    highway obstruction yet?

    Who *does* think he is?

    Even my daughter, who cycles down the same roads that I did for 15 years, says that bus drivers are dangerous psychos!

    The psycho is he who, having (allegedly) formed the opinion that the bus
    driver is driving dangerously, places his body and a chav-bike of the
    bus in order to "stop" it.

    There's more to that case than is reported. As it is, it makes no sense.

    Then again, it IS only a chav-cyclist's version of events. So what's
    *that* worth?

    To be fair, when I reported one of their drivers, they gave him a verbal warning for dangerous driving.
    Well satisfied!

    Fantasist!

    Next, you'll be saying you can fly.

    Still waiting for the outcome according to the Hull Daily Mail. Holidays, no doubt.

    Note well what the incident was.

    It was the purported "citizen's arrest".

    Not the crazed allegations made by the chav on the chav-bike.

    May Sun's post *just* on-topic. But only just.

    It would have been better posted to:
