Austin comments in the Scotsman newspaper and the Scotsman online about the recent Big Man case in which a passenger who did not seem willing or able to pay his fare was thrown – literally – off a train by another passenger.
Issues of citizen’s arrest, assault and the freedom of passengers not to be obstructed in getting to their destination all figure here. The vigilante has been charged with assault, and the apparently non-paying passenger has been referred to the procurator fiscal to see if he should face a charge too. Tickets please!
