STAFF at a Glasgow subway station had to shut down the electricity after two men started a fight on a live railway line.

Jamie Hannah, 25, appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing for his part in the fight which caused the disruption.

He plead guilty to the offence which happened days before Christmas on December 23, 2015 at Govan Subway Station on Govan Road.

He accepted that he did conduct himself in a disorderly manner and commit a breach of the peace.

Hannah also plead guilty to shouting, swearing and engaging in a fight.

Michael Mooney, 32, was listed on the charge sheet as his co-accused although he was not present in court.

Hannah also accepted that he struggled with his co-accused Mooney during the fight on a live railway line.

The charge sheet states that this caused staff members at the subway station to shut off the electrical supply to the railway lines.

The Procurator Fiscal depute told the court that both men were at the subway station at around 8.45pm.

An argument kicked off between the pair across platforms.

The Procurator Fiscal depute explained that Rooney jumped on the railway line to get to Hannah.

Hannah then jumped off the platform and the pair started to fight.

The court heard that staff members had to cut off the electricity supply on the railway line.

Sheriff Linda M Ruxton asked the Procurator Fiscal depute the time delay or cost to the subway operators.

The court heard, however, that the Procurator Fiscal’s report did not contain details on the impact the fight had on commuters.

Hannah’s defence agent said that the fight lasted around five minutes in attempt to provide an insight to the delay passengers experienced.

She told the court that her client’s behaviour was unacceptable and he accepted that.

Hannah, of Acre Drive, Maryhill, was fined £300.
