He continued to drive for a few metres until he saw a police car and stopped. At this time, he realised that two windows on the same side of the bus were broken.The driver will provide a statement to police this evening accompanied by a security manager of the Organising Committee of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.Also tonight the bus will be subjected to an official inspection by the police.

I was sitting at the back. There was a popping, cracking noise.The bus didnt come to a stop but paused. Everyone was on the floor so I got on the floor as well. The bus driver stopped the bus about half a minute afterwards. People started shouting just keep going. After a couple of minutes we had a police escort.A few minutes later the bus pulled over on the motorway and the driver spoke to the police. Then we all got back on the bus and came back to the main transport mall. There were minor injuries from glass shards but nobody was seriously hurt.There were pierced holes in the glass when it happened. The two windows did not shatter immediately but one of them shattered as we drove along the motorway.
