British Transport Police said the man was witnessed “staggering” through the train before being arrested at Lancaster railway station on Monday afternoon.

It was also reported that he has fallen onto passengers and hurled abuse at them.

Officers said the man spent “several hours” in custody sobering up following his arrest.

The man, who has not been named, was later charged with being drunk and disorderly and has been bailed to appear at court.
