Gardaí are appealing for information after a Bus Éireann driver was assaulted and robbed in Cork last night.

The incident happened when the No 208 bus pulled into Ashmount at around 11.40pm to allow a passenger to get on board.

It is believed a man attacked the driver and made off with the day's takings.

He was taken to Cork University Hospital for treatment and was later discharged, but is understood to be badly shaken.

The alleged attacker is being described as being around 20, of medium build, wearing a green hoodie and "yellow goalkeeper's gloves".
