All station signals are red and the job has been stopped as this total fud walks along the down slow having jumped onto the tracks after he assaulted a female member of staff on the front concourse. His mother will be so proud of him.
He walked up and down the lines a few times before scaling the fence into the Wabtec yard. He was later caught and charged with assault. Afterwards he was dealt with by the fashion police and charged with the offence of tucking his tracky bottoms into his sports socks. Twat!!
