Yesterday afternoon, shortly before 6.00 pm, a dramatic spectacle took place at Berliner Platz. The bus driver for Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG), Jürgen Baron, could not believe his eyes when he saw a stationary vehicle on Berliner Platz. The SWG bus driver was travelling on route 1 through Giessen when he saw the man in the car beating his passenger.
Jürgen Baron acted without giving it much thought. Because for him, helping other people is the most natural thing in the world. While other passers-by only watched the spectacle from a distance, the bus driver immediately called the police. However, he could not stand idly by and intervened with an equally courageous passenger.
Together with the passenger, the bus driver managed to prevent the man from continuing to beat the helpless woman until the police arrived on the scene.
As a bus driver, you have a lot to do with people and know that some situations require special sensitivity when dealing with people. But the bus driver was also unfamiliar with such a situation.
