*Blinks* *rubs eyes*

Well, that happened. And now the police want answers.

This guy rode into a Berkshire railway station on a horse, racially abused staff and threatened them with a whip, said British Transport Police (BTP).

The bizarre incident took place around 3pm on Sunday January 4.


Detective constable Rod Harbron, leading the investigation, said: ‘At approximately 3pm a man on horseback rode into the booking hall and headed towards the platforms.

‘When challenged by a member of station staff, he racially abused them and threatened to assault them with a riding crop.’



The 32-year-old staff member, from the local area, called police to report the incident.

DC Harbron added: ‘A busy railway station is no place for horses and rail operators have every right to refuse access to people with animals under the railway byelaws. The member of staff was just doing their job and racial abuse and threats will not be tolerated.

‘Who is the man on the pony? If you recognise him, please get in touch.’
