Teens Set Fire To Train Passenger

A train passenger has been horrifically burned by teenagers who set him on fire as he slept in his seat on the carriage.

Four youths attacked the 21-year-old while he took a nap on the Brighton to Littlehampton train in Sussex.

He was found by a guard, unconscious on the floor with serious burns to his face.

Police are now examining CCTV footage and carrying out forensic tests.

The teenagers are thought to have boarded the 6.50pm service at the Lancing stop.

Detective constable Rob Cager said: "During the assault a fire was started just before the train pulled into Durrington-on-Sea railway station where the group fled the train."

Descriptions of three of the people believed to be behind the Sunday evening attack have been issued.

Two are described as white and aged 14 or 15.

Murdering or maiming someone means nothing to some people these days
