A semi-deserted rail carriage echoed to the shouts of "Go,Go,Go!" as a pint-sized rail cop hunted down a fare dodger he feared would flee on his bike today.
Four revenue protection inspectors, backed up by three uniformed British Transport Police officers, swooped on the 14.33 London Bridge to Hayes service, finding a young black male ticketless.
Claiming to have travelled from Greenwich the passenger told police he was getting off at New Cross and triggered panic as he left the carriage with his bike.
Fearing a fast getaway, one eager cop, in the style of an Los Angeles S.W.A.T. team shouted:"Go, Go, Go!" at passengers and fellow officers as he intercepted the fare dodger.
One obvious question remains. Why not cycle from Greenwich to New Cross?
