Warning: These visuals may distress few people.
When a man was stopped from taking pictures of random women on the train, he grabbed a woman and tried to choke her.
This incident occurred during peak hour rush on the Ringwood line in Melbourne.
Wayne David Smart was taking photos of female passengers when one of them asked him to stop. Undeterred, he continued taking photos when one of the female passengers took his phone and said: ‘Look, let me delete that photo’. But the scene turned ugly when Smart snapped the phone, grabbed the victim, pushed her against the wall and choked her.
Herald Sun reported that the carriage ignored their own safety and rushed to women’s aid. Few passengers held on to Smart while one pushed the emergency alarm on the train. Smart was arrested and presented before Ringwood Magistrate’s court where his lawyer blamed Smart’s crimes on binge drinking.
It was also revealed that Smart has spent quite some time in jail before and has an extensive criminal history.
The magistrate has sentenced him to four months in jail.
