Boris Johnson blamed for Tube party violence

[mouqeet]

Union leaders called on Boris Johnson to apologise to London Underground staff today after they were assaulted and spat on during last night’s ‘booze party’, organised to mark the start of the Mayor alcohol ban on public transport.

Six Tube stations were closed as thousands of people partied on the Circle Line. There were 17 arrests after four Tube drivers, three other members of staff and two police officers were assaulted. Around 50 staff were said to have been verbally abused or spat at.

The party was prompted by Mr Johnson’s alcohol ban on public transport - which came into effect at midnight - and was organised via social networking site Facebook.

But what started as a happy drinking session descended into chaos as drunken revellers jammed stations, fought, vomited and damaged trains
