Farhan Farah Ali, 20, a Somali migrant residing at Hal Far open centre, admitted to smashing the windscreen and damaging the wipers of the bus.

The court was told that the bus driver refused to take the migrant on board because he was very drunk. The migrant retaliated by smashing the windscreen and the vehicle's wipers.

Farah Ali was handed a two year prison sentence suspended for four years and ordered to pay the damages within six months.
