THIS photo shows a man clearing up his own urine after creating the mess at Worcester Foregate Street station.

The man was asked to clean up the urine with a mop and bucket after he was seen swearing and urinating in public.

The on-the-spot “embarrassing” punishment was dished out by British Transport Police officers after the incident was reported at 1.02pm on Sunday afternoon.

He was also refused travel under Bylaw 4 of the Transports Act 2000.

The bylaw states a person can be refused travel if they are intoxicated or in possession of intoxicating liquor.

This means no one can enter or remain on the railway if they are unfit as a result of being in a state of intoxication.

The man was not arrested and left the station.

A spokesman from the British Transport Police for the Three Counties said: “The complainant was happy with this resolution.”

On Twitter, BTP3Counties tweeted: “Today's top tip! If you decide to urinate on one of our stations then expect to be given a mop and bucket to clean up after yourself, whilst being supervised.

“You will then be refused travel like this person found out in Worcester today, all whilst a very busy service was emptying.

“No legislation used for the mop and bucket part of it. Just a bit of common sense as I don't see why someone should walk through or clean up someone's else's mess.

“I agree it is unacceptable, hence why the embarrassment of cleaning it hopefully will make him think twice next time. Especially when the toilets were accessible.

“Sadly, if toilets are left open out of office hours there is a minority who abuse it and ruin it for the majority.”
