Train passenger abuses partiallys­ighted woman

-

A partially-sighted woman was verbally abused on a train after her specially-adapted mobile phone read out incoming text messages.

The woman was travelling on the 7.15am Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street service on Monday when the incident happened.

A spokesman for British Transport Police (BTP) said: “A fellow passenger took exception to the noise and started shouting and swearing at the victim. It left her badly shaken and distressed.”

The female offender left the train at Polmont.
