The man was intercepted by a Hohola patrol unit who were alerted by a tip-off that the man would be at the main bus stop.
Shocked bus passengers and a few motorists were stunned as the driver was taken away by police officers.
The man had reportedly bashed up his wife on New Year’s eve after he had come home and realised that his dinner was not ready.
The wife has received treatment for a dislocated shoulder and bruised face.
