On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, passengers on a public transport unit in Puebla experienced a tense and frightening moment when a man allegedly linked to a group known as “montachoques” violently attacked the driver and damaged the vehicle with a crowbar at the busy intersection of San Felipe Hueyotlipan.

The incident was recorded by passengers inside the unit, showing a man stepping out of a black Volvo S40 with license plates TXR-52-33 to confront the driver. The video captures the aggressor smashing the vehicle’s windows and breaking part of the windshield with a crowbar, while passengers shout warnings to the driver to stay alert.

This attack happened in broad daylight and in front of dozens of witnesses, causing fear among those inside the public transport vehicle. So far, no official reports have confirmed if anyone was injured or which route the affected unit belonged to.

This event recalls a similar attack just weeks ago in Puebla’s metropolitan area, where a RUTA feeder bus driver was assaulted after a traffic dispute. That case also went viral, highlighting ongoing concerns about “montachoques”—groups or individuals who use intimidation and threats to demand money or settle conflicts on the road.

Following the video’s circulation on social media, users have called on authorities to investigate the occupants of the black Volvo and determine if they are connected to other recent incidents in the city. Citizens are also demanding stronger protection for public transport drivers, who face daily risks while doing their jobs.

The video continues to spread widely online, sparking outrage among transport users who find the aggressor’s violent behavior alarming, especially since innocent passengers were caught in the middle. As of the publication of this report, no official statements have been made regarding arrests or the start of an investigation into the San Felipe Hueyotlipan attack.
