Officers attended the scene and spoke to the two men about the alleged incident. Thankfully, or perhaps unfortunately, no arrests were made. Southern Rail has confirmed that as a result the service was forcibly terminated at Gatwick.
In total, the train was held for 30 minutes. A spokesman for Southern said:
"We were called to Hove station at 7.19am on Monday, May 23 to reports of an assault on board a train. Officers attended and spoke to two men about the alleged incident."One passenger said: "This is why they need to de-classify First", while another onlooker referred to the carnage as a "First Class punch-up." https://twitter.com/glenpk2/status/735353962078076928 Meanwhile, a tweet from the parody account @BadSouthernRail said: "We are looking into making all passengers fight other passengers to win a seat, if nothing else, for our entertainment." https://twitter.com/chrisphilp_mp/status/735180468694306817 https://twitter.com/Ian_Partington/status/735215689305325572 https://twitter.com/The_Monties/status/734644833940312065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/_claireellasmum/status/734766156322615296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/braddyson/status/734641815626887173 https://twitter.com/BadSouthernRail/status/735365015759409153 https://twitter.com/QuebecTango/status/735343782472880128 Of course, this is the real scandal: https://twitter.com/sisfridge/status/735082990875840512 Got a commuting horror story to share?
