£1,000 reward for name of person who 'shot Leeds train with air gun'

A £1,000 reward has been offered for the name of the person thought to have shot at a Leeds train with an air gun last week.

Northern is offering the reward for information that leads to the arrest of the culprit after windows of one of their trains were shown cracked last week, with passengers reporting it had been shot by an 'air rifle'. The rush hour train was headed from Leeds station to Bradford Forster Square when passengers reported hearing 'loud cracks' near Kirkstall Forge station just before 5.30pm on Monday, May 22.

Tony Baxter, regional director for Northern, said: “It’s very fortunate that no-one was injured. It beggars belief that anyone thinks it’s ‘fun’ to target a train in this way.
