Violence erupted on the service between Leeds and Doncaster last Friday night, with passengers forced to try and shelter from a pair of men who began brawling on the 11.31 service back to the city.

One passenger, who witnessed the chaos, said: “It started off as football chants, but then a couple of guys started getting aggressive.

"The guy who got battered was insulting someone behind him.

"He got up and started beating him up, holding him against his seat. It eventually got broken up but one of the guys was bleeding everywhere.

"The men were then separated into different carriages, but as the train reached Adwick, the fight started again and they fell on top of other passengers as they continued to fight.”

We have contacted British Transport Police for details of the incident.
