On the 15-11-12 at around 1.30 am a man in his thirties was waiting at a Brunswick West bus stop when he suffered an epileptic seizure and lost consciousness. Upon regaining consciousness he discovered his backpack missing. Brunswick police are asking for any witnesses to come forward.

Graeme Shears, chief executive of the Epilespy Foundation of Victoria, said that such incidents are  ‘not uncommon’ and that suffers avoid public transport for such reasons.
