Possible DPA/GDPR breach.

Not sure if this is the correct forum,but it's the only 1 closest to my query, it involves an employee.
Last week when England knocked out Colombia, there were fans congregating in a town center ,blocking the road, and 2 buses were blocked in.Several dozen fans were converging on one of the buses which was immediately outside the pub., rocking it, opening the entrance doors via the outside emergency door button.The driver attempted 3 or 4 times to gently shove a few fans off. 1 fan actually got onto the roof and was jumping on the roof.A harrowing experience for the several passengers on board, some of whom were young women.All the time this was happening, someone was filming the incident.
All of a sudden, the video clip is on Youtube.The driver concerned is angry that this video clip is on youtube ,uploaded by a local taxi firm.The driver never gave his permission for the video clip to be uploaded or for the drivers face to be shown.The taxi firm did not ask the bus company if they could upload it either.
Not only was it embarrassing for the driver at the time of the incident, but it was also a shock for him when he saw the video clip on Youtube,which has gone viral, and has had over 66,000 hits.
The bus driver asked me if there is a breach of the Data Protection Act 2018, and/or a breach of the GDPR.As I am not clued up much on both,I cannot give a positive answer
So, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.I will print it off and give it to the employee.

Filming in public places is not illegal and based on what you have said, I would be inclined to point the police in the direction of the video as you would be reporting a crime. I’m sure long term that the bus driver would be happier seeing justice done should the culprits be identified. If filming was done by an individual without permission in private areas such as your own garden,swimming pools etc,this then would then come under invasion of privacy.
