Adelaide police are seeking five young men over an attack on a bus driver.

The man needed stitches for a cut lip and sustained a swollen eye after he was attacked at a bus stop in Hanson Road at Athol Park last Sunday, about 10:10pm.

Police have released security vision of those being sought over the assault and said the driver had told the men they needed to buy tickets before riding on the bus.

The men are believed to be of African appearance.
