A COUPLE have been arrested over the attack on a mother with her two children on a bus in Hendon in January.

The pair were identified by an anonymous tip-off through Crimestoppers after police released an appeal through the media.

During the attack on January 17 the mother was spat at, had her head smashed into a metal pole and was pushed off the bus with her pram in Vivian Avenue.

They were arrested yesterday morning and have been released on police bail until May 4 pending further inquiries.
