This is the moment two brazen thieves appear to attempt to rob a bus while the driver was taking a break.
The incident took place last Friday, July 17, as the bus driver stopped his vehicle on Regent Street, Eccles, close to the Lamb Hotel pub.
The photograph shows one of the men lifting another man by the ankles through the bus driver’s window at around 6.45pm during rush hour.
One of the man can be seen scrabbling around in the area where the driver keeps his cash, while the other man has hidden his face with a black hoodie.
The bus driver returned to the vehicle before the men were able to take anything.
They fled from the scene when they saw him return.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed the incident was reported to police the following day.
She said: “We were called at 12.45pm on July 18 to reports that someone had broken into the bus and stole money between 6.45pm and 7.45pm on July 17.”
