Plenty of photos and description of the passers-by restraining the *alleged* attacker, but nothing on the *alleged* attack on the driver.
Which may be due to the contempt of court rules and the fact the *alleged* attacker has been arrested.

In footage of the incident, the man can be heard asking repeatedly to be allowed to sit up, and saying his children are watching from a nearby car.
When he is not allowed up, the man begins shouting, struggling and kicking his legs.
More people rush over to investigate what is happening and help restrain the man.
A scuffle ensues, as the man wrestles himself partly free and begins grappling with one of the people pinning him down.
Other passers-by try reasoning him, urging him to "calm down" - while others stand by and watch the scene unfold.
One man manoeuvres himself so he is lying beneath the suspect, and manages to hold him still using his legs until police officers arrive.

He is then handcuffed and placed under arrest.
