Train Defecator Hunted By Police

Monday October 23, 06:16 PM

Police are searching for a man who has been defecating on trains across the country, causing around £60,000-worth of damage. The offender has struck on at least 30 trains since August, mainly in the South East, smearing excrement inside the carriages. He waits until he is alone in the carriage before committing the offence.
His "exceptionally anti-social" actions have even resulted in carriages being taken out of service.
British Transport Police warned that his unpleasant habit was creating a risk to public health.
The force has released CCTV images of a man officers want to speak to in connection with the investigation.
Detective Constable Donna Fox said the man's actions had resulted in "many carriages been taken out of service, causing disruption and cancellations to the train services and serious inconvenience to the travelling public.
"This is obviously a serious public health issue as well as being exceptionally anti-social," she said.
She added that there was no particular pattern as to when he appears.
"He travels to various areas and at different times of the day and different days of the week," she said.
"On at least one occasion CCTV footage shows the man being disturbed by a passenger walking through a train.
"We are appealing for this man or anyone else who may have witnessed this man committing offences to contact us."
She said that anyone who saw the man travelling on the railway network should not approach him, "but call the police or alert train staff immediately".
Anyone with information should call the BTP Witness Appeal line on 020 7391 5275.

Words fail me.

What the hell is wrong with some people? :(

Thats disgusting.:mad: :( :eek:

I'm amazed, why would you want to do that? Lets hope the BTP catch up with him soon. What sort of punishment do you reckon he'll get for that?

Adam

what he would get is a suspended sentance, or 10 hours of community service. I dont care if he is insane and needs lots of social workers.

What he should get is 1000 hours of hard labour train cleaning.

A pic of the suspect is here.

Who in their right mind would want to do that?

Any more news about it

No sorry, EuroStar.
I haven't heard any more about it. The photo of him was pretty clear so hopefully he was caught.

The last I heard about it was that he had been caught:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6089042.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6091938.stm

but nothing more since then

Thanks EuroStar.
I don't know how I missed that news.
I hope they threw the book at him.

Put him in a locked Pendolino carriage, one with a blocked toilet and no ventilation. Then give him a 24 hours of continuous rides between Euston and Glasgow. And then make him clean the carriage at the end of it. That would make the punishment fit the crime. :D ;)

Pleased to hear they got him but what on earth are they going to do with him, his act was similar to what my Autistic Grandson did, he used to wipe his stuff over the bedroom wall, this person may also be Autistic and no matter how filthy we think the act is they just cant help themselves, I would like to think that is what the problem is rather than just being a destructive maniac.

Thankfully my Grandsons habbits have been fixed up by medication.

I remember we had this same problem in steam days. I remember one day the guard on our train telling me that he had just locked a compartment where someone had crapped on the floor. This is not the only time It happened it was a regular occurance, the culprit was obviously someone with some sort of mental problem.

Just read:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6741899.stm

A report in Railway magazine says that a group of youths have done the same thing on a train from Phwelli (spelling?) to Birmingham. The carriage had to be locked out of service.

Thanks for that Eurostar.
I was wondering what happened to him.

Read about it in the metro, he was defecating on trains to "purge himself of the voices telling him to kill other people" and detained indefinately under the mental health act.

why CCTV released the images ?
In China , passenger‘s feces discard on rail(toilet's waste pipe connected to rail directly). this creating a risk to public health! especially creating a highly risk to railway worker!

peng,
In Europe the toilets of older trains are the same as in China. All new trains now retain the faeces in a tank and it is emptied in the railway depot.
The man who was seen on the CCTV was leaving his faeces in the passenger compartment. He was not using the toilet.:(
