A chaotic and frightening scene erupted on an Adelaide train line recently, leaving passengers shaken and concerned for their safety. The transport minister, Tom Koutsantonis, has promised to take action against the perpetrators by banning them from using public transport in the future.
According to reports, the fight began between two men on the Seaford line around 6:45pm, following a heated exchange of words. In a video obtained by 9News Adelaide, one of the men can be heard saying, "I'm a f---ing beast and you aren't, so f--- off." The situation escalated when another man intervened and put one of the passengers in a headlock, while a third man dressed in orange joined in by throwing punches.
Thankfully, a brave woman on the train took quick action and pressed the emergency button for help. The men eventually got off the train at Oaklands Railway Station, but not without causing significant disturbance and fear among the other passengers.
In response to this unacceptable behavior, Minister Koutsantonis has made a strong statement, declaring that the men will face serious consequences. "They're idiots," he stated firmly. "We have zero tolerance for assaults on public transport and I will not hesitate to ban them for life."
While some members of the public have called for increased security measures on trains, particularly during peak hours, others are satisfied with the existing roaming patrols that start at 7pm. "I think having them during peak time would be better," one commuter suggested. Another agreed, saying, "It'd be good to have them during peak hours like 5pm."
An investigation is currently underway to identify the men involved in the brawl, and CCTV footage of the incident will be reviewed. Minister Koutsantonis assured the public that they have some leads, saying, "We've got their pictures, we possibly even have their credit card details and we are forwarding all of this to the police."
