“When he stood up to them, a very unpleasant argument developed, and voices were raised, and then the driver was attacked when everybody spilled out on to the bus platform,” the source told the outlet.
Monguillot was left unconscious and brought to the hospital, where he was determined to be brain dead, Le Parisien reported. His wife, Veronique, said the couple’s lives have been “destroyed” by the violent attack.
“He can’t leave us like this, he was going to be 59 years old soon,” she told Le Parisien. “No, you don’t do this over a bus ticket. You don’t kill for free like this.”
Five people face charges in connection to the grisly assault, but their identities haven’t been released, the outlet reported. Bayonne’s Mayor Claude Olive condemned the attack as “barbaric” and said the city was working to improve safety for bus drivers.
“Philippe was a wonderful person who should have been protected,” Olive said.
