A man attacked a member of rail staff after trying to travel without paying for a train ticket.
Michael Lucas, of Bath Street, Southport, tried to avoid paying for his ticket twice on Sunday, February 6. The 32-year-old attempted to get through the barriers at Wigan Wallgate station without paying for his fare.
After being challenged by gate line staff, Lucas left the station. A court heard that Lucas returned later in the evening and this time he forced his way through the barriers.
