Bomb scare at Hinckley (Leicestershire)

[Qwerty133]

From the Leicester Mercury (http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/n...nckley-railway-station-evacuated-after-506558)

A man has been arrested after a railway station and a train were evacuated in a bomb alert.

Police arrested a 32-year-old man after the alarm was raised about a suspicious package on a train at Hinckley station at 1.31pm.

It looks like some total idiot thought it would be a good idea to pretend to have a bomb and scream about killing people. The incident has caused a number of delays and cancellations between Birmingham and Stansted Airport.

I read a few comments on social media about this, the individual was apparently acting in an offensive way but there seems to be some doubt as to whether any threats about a bomb were actually made.

Anyway I'm sure it will all come out in the wash, or in the interview room!

The allegation, as I understand it, is that the man made a threat to blow up the train.
