Two train drivers from the high-speed train Burgas-Sofia assaulted the manager of the Tulovo station, according to railway documents cited by OFFnews. 

The beating took place in front of dozens of witnesses around 11:30 a.m. on March 7.

Because of the incident, the express train was delayed by 26 minutes.

According to the station master's report on the incident, the scandal arose after the assistant driver of the train in question got off the locomotive and went with two passengers to the reception building to buy coffee and smoke.

The head of the station made a remark that the train arrived a little late and they had to leave for Sofia.

In response, he received a barrage of ugly curses, calling him a "fool".

The driver of the high-speed train, D.D., also got involved in the arguments.

He reached out and knocked the hat off the shocked man's head.

The assistant driver then punched him twice in the face.

One of his colleagues came to the aid of the NKŽI employee.

The ugly scenes were witnessed by the passengers of two trains that were at the station at the same time.

The head of the station in Tulovo has obtained a medical certificate for the beating and intends to sue the train drivers from BDZ.

The transport brigade of the Burgas-Sofia train also confirms his words about aggressive behavior on the part of the two drivers.

"In 39 years of service in the railways, this is the first time I have experienced such indecent and rude behavior from colleagues. Such behavior undermines the authority of the railway in society as a whole," the station chief stated in his report on what happened.
