Jobless fare dodger hurls abuse at rail inspectors after refusing to buy ticket

A rail passenger hurled shocking abuse at inspectors after refusing to buy a ticket, threatening to slash their throats and saying he hoped they died from cancer. The man was confronted by revenue protection officer Lauren on a South Western Railway train from London Waterloo to Weymouth after avoiding her colleague. He admitted he had no ticket because he had 'just lost my job' before warning Lauren not to 'start threatening me with legal action.The section of the line between Bournemouth and Weymouth is known as a fare dodging hotspot because there are no ticket barriers at the intermediate stations. And Lauren encountered the same passenger again a week later at Weymouth on board a 6pm London-bound departure which was preparing to leave the station. He again began hurling abuse at her and colleagues, with security guards and British Transport Police officers called to assist staff in getting him off the train.
