The attack occurred around 11:30 PM, where the bus, operated by Metrópole, was intercepted by a group of men who forced the driver to exit the vehicle. Following this, the perpetrators set the bus ablaze, destroying not just the vehicle but also the driver's personal belongings left inside, including documents and a cellphone.

The São Paulo State Public Security Secretary (SSP) and SPTrans, the city's public transport authority, received reports of the incident.
