The victim, a 49-year-old man, was waiting for a bus with a friend at a bus stop outside Mikiki shopping centre on Prince Edward Road East at the time of the incident.
“A man in his thirties pushed the victim off the walkway from behind as a KMB bus was leaving the bus stop,” a police spokesman said.
As a result, the victim was hit by the double-decker vehicle, sustaining injuries to the left side of his face and left shoulder, he added.
