Dubuque Police arrested a former Dubuque school bus driver who was caught on video pushing and kicking a student with autism.
69-year old Nick Gau of Asbury is charged with assault causing bodily injury.
The Dubuque School District contacted police after seeing video of the incident on December 11th. Police say the video shows Gau confronting the 11-year-old student while parked in the Washington Middle School parking lot and then pinning the student up against the side of the bus. Police say the school provided pictures of the boy showing bruises on the leg and redness on the forearm.
Gau’s employment was immediately terminated by the district. He was arrested earlier this month and is now out of jail on a cash bond.
