A bus bound from Vilnius to Šiauliai was delayed after its driver refused to carry an intoxicated passenger. The bus had been due to leave at 7:40 p.m., when most passengers had already taken their seats.
The man reportedly had also tried to travel that morning but was refused because he was drunk. After being denied boarding again, he demanded a refund and was directed to the ticket office, but he did not agree to leave.
Witnesses said the driver and security guards calmly urged him to get off. He remained by the doors and refused to move. The man called police himself, and the driver later contacted officers as well.
When police arrived, they removed the passenger’s belongings from the bus and stayed to deal with him. The bus eventually left for Šiauliai.
