Police have charged a man with assault after an alleged fare-dodger was removed from a train by a passenger.
Meanwhile the student accused of fare dodging, 19-year-old Sam Main from Falkirk, has also been reported to the procurator fiscal, which decides whether to prosecute alleged crimes in Scotland.

Bit of a pickle for the PF. Do they proceed with a very minor assault charge against a (presumably) decent member of the public with little or no pre-cons just because its a high profile case? Or do they get the red pen out and sent the file to the shredder and tell Mr Pollok not to do it again?
