Norfolk Constabulary responded to reports of an altercation between two men near the Brundall roundabout on Tuesday afternoon.

The force confirmed that a bus driver and another driver were involved in a verbal and physical altercation at 3.30pm, blocking the road for a short time.

The cause of the fight remains unconfirmed but a boy in the video clip can be heard saying "to be fair the other guy did pull out in front of him".

A Thorpe St Andrew High School spokeswoman said that the bus driver was not employed directly by the school and was instead employed by a company contracted by Norfolk County Council.

A spokeswoman for Norfolk County Council said that they are investigating the incident with the operator and "will deal with the incident appropriately".
