it is assault he could have man handled him off IMHO but he threw him to the floor at least twice from what i have seen - the damage suggestst it was assault.
That said it seemed like a bit of instant karma tbh and if it was my lad I would not be pressing charges and would say learn a lesson son
Compensation claim coming down the tracks.

...... She's in the "it's assault" camp, I'm on the "no lasting damage" side of the argument.
Both can be true. You don't need any damage for it to be assault.

His father sounds like a douche. My old man would have kicked my arse if he'd seen me acting like a prick on a train.
His dad should kick his little wee Scotch Egg heed in for bringing shame on his family.

You mean "some of youse don't have a ****ing clue"?
What a surprise 🙄
Would be good to hear the young guy's version...from the Herald article:
He said: "In the morning I got a ticket from Polmont to Edinburgh Park before 10am, so I wasn't able to use my railcard to get a return. The guy sold me two singles but they were both for Polmont to Edinburgh. I didn't realise until later but I thought I'd be able to explain what happened to the conductor on the train.*"I was on my way home from my second exam when it happened. I'm diabetic and hadn't eaten all day** so I was just desperate to get home. I wasn't given a chance to explain the ticket situation. The conductor just immediately said: That's the wrong ticket. Off!
"I didn't even see the other guy coming. He lifted me up from behind and all I could see was chairs and the floor. He chucked me off and I landed right on my face. I tried to get back on to get my bag but I was shoved off again. I did get my bag back after that though.
"I ended up getting a taxi back to Falkirk. It cost me £20. I did have money to buy another ticket but I wasn't given the option.***"
* Should have done it at the station - fair enough if he had not time to do so early on due to exam
** Really? Wouldn't he be passing out?
*** was he not saying on the video he'd no money?
He also said he was diabetic, had not eaten much all day and had not slept the night before because he had been studying.
Poor little precious. Looks like he has been roughing himself up for effect too.

“Please, mummy, make it stop!”
Wasn't he spouting off on Facebook about not having a ticket and generally having a hoot about the whole thing prior to this about turn.
Compo, it's worst than the booze what it does to your memory.
So the reason for his foul mouthed tirade was because he was a bit tired? Oh please.
Well hang on, you would be pretty tired if you'd been in the uni bar all night.
No ticket!
For that reason you're out.
And apparently 'big man' was on a promise.
I heard that, but I haven't seen anything.oldgit - Member
