A Metro passenger heard singing 'Sweet Caroline' had a WEE into a platform bin.

The female climbed onto the bin and laughed as she dropped her pants.

Police are probing the act which Metro bosses have branded "totally unacceptable".

The grim incident unfolded just before midnight on Thursday at North Shields station.

The culprit had spent most of her trip giggling with a pal as they belted out the Neil Diamond 1969 classic to the rest of the carriage.

But to the horror of onlookers, one of the duo carried out the lewd act as soon as she got off the train - claiming she was "bursting".

CCTV footage is understood to exist and may help Northumbria Police as officers attempt to identify the female.

A force spokesperson confirmed it was looking at the incident, adding: "Urinating in public is a public order offence for which you can be summonsed."

A Nexus spokesman added: “We’ve been made aware of this incident and it has been reported to the police.

"This sort of behaviour on Metro is totally unacceptable.”
