Police seek witnesses: Child runs in front of bus - Injuries after emergency braking

Police in Bochum, Germany, are appealing for witnesses after several passengers were slightly injured during an emergency stop of a public bus. The incident occurred Tuesday morning when the 37-year-old bus driver had to brake suddenly to avoid a child who darted into the street.

The abrupt stop caused three passengers to fall and sustain minor injuries. Tragically, a mother traveling with her three-month-old baby also fell. The infant was taken to a children's clinic for further examination.

Authorities are now actively searching for witnesses and trying to identify the child involved. The child is described as being between 130 and 140 centimeters tall, with brown hair, and was reportedly carrying a dark green backpack. The police hope that by gathering more information, they can understand the circumstances of the incident and prevent similar occurrences.
