Train guard hit with bottle of alcohol thrown by passenger
A train guard was hit with a bottle of alcohol thrown by a passenger on a train travelling between Edinburgh and Dundee.
The incident happened at 7.20pm on March 2 when anti-social behaviour led the guard to ask a group to leave the service at Inverkeithing, Fife.
British Transport Police (BTP) said they then became aggressive and a container was thrown at him then a glass bottle, which smashed off the train doors.
A member of @ScotRail staff was assaulted on board a train at Inverkeithing. The service was travelling between Edinburgh and Dundee on 2 March.
