Drunk Wallsend yob spat on Metro worker and exposed himself in argument over vape

A drunk yob spat on Metro worker before dropping his trousers and exposing himself in front of shocked passengers.

David Sutton started being aggressive towards the Nexus employee after he took exception to being asked to stop vaping onboard a train. The 28-year-old's behaviour continued to escalate as he threw the smoking device towards the victim before he turned and spat on him, a court was told.

The intoxicated lout then flashed his genitals at the worker and nearby passengers after the train pulled into Meadow Well Metro Station, in North Tyneside. The police were called and Sutton was arrested but went on to give a no-comment interview.
