A man who shouted abuse and nearly crashed into rowers during a regatta on the River Thames has had to pay more than £4,000 for his “river rage”, the Environment Agency said.

Scott Keen steered his unregistered boat into the Kingston Amateur Regatta in July 2024, with video footage capturing his “dangerous” behaviour.
