A graffiti vandal threatened a train driver when he was interrupted while causing extensive damage to a train at the Armadale Train Station.
Around 6.30pm on Monday the 29th of August 2011, the train driver witnessed a male spray painting meaningless ‘Tags’ on the train and attempted to stop him from causing further damage to the carriages.
The driver exited the cab and was immediately confronted by the male and verbally abused. The driver noticed five other males in the vicinity so he returned to his train and reported the incident to Transit Officers.
Upon inspection the damage extended the full length of one carriage and part of a second carriage.
The male pictured below was seen taking photos of the graffiti damage shortly after the incident and he may be able to assist police with their enquiries.
The male is described as:
- Fair complexion
- Aged late teens to early twenties
- Medium build
- Wearing a blue cap, a grey collared jumper and denim jeans.
