Two more arrests in case of teacher’s hair set alight

TWO more teenagers have been arrested by police investigating an unprovoked attack on a Swedish teacher who had her hair set alight on a train, the British Transport Police (BTP) said yesterday.

The pair, both 15-year-old boys from Swanley, Kent, were arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm yesterday following the incident on a train running from Hastings, East Sussex, to London Victoria.

Both suspects were taken to a police station in Bromley and released on bail until Thursday, August 25, said BTP Inspector Gary Ancell.
