Peter Benning, 25 and of Gilbard Road, Earlham, said his family intended to register a complaint with First about what happened when he and his two-year-old son Reece-Lee were travelling towards Earlham on the number 21 First bus on Tuesday, at about 12.45pm
Mr Benning, who lives with his partner Hannah Williams, 31, said: “We were coming home from the Hamlet Centre when Reece-Lee started fitting on the bus. I said to the bus driver, ‘you need to stop the bus because my son is having a fit.’
“He said okay and stopped the bus. He opened the doors and said, ‘you have to get off’.”
