A woman and her child suffered a shocking and inexplicable incident on a trolleybus in Budapest, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes. The mother was trying to get off the bus with her baby in a pram, but the driver closed the door on them several times, and eventually the child got stranded in the bus stop with a stranger while the mother was stuck on the bus.
The 22-year-old Vivien Majoros wanted to get off a trolleybus at Heroes Square with her 5-month-old son, Benett. A passenger was helping her take the pram off the bus, she told Borsonline.
“The driver opened the door, the lady was holding the pram on the bottom, I was holding it at the top, and we were trying to get off the bus. A moment later, the bus driver shut the door on the pram, and only opened it after the whole bus started shouting. When the pram got off the bus with Benett, the door was shut in my face,” said Vivien.
She ran to the driver immediately, and told him what had happened, but the driver ignored her.
“The lady who stayed with Benett was knocking loudly, and the other passengers were shouting, too, but he ignored even these. When I asked him what he was doing, this was his answer: ‘Shut up or I’ll throw you off. You’ll get off at the next stop!’”
