He was assaulted. That's not a belief, it's a fact. Using physical force or violence against someone when you have no power to do so, or you are not using it as a form of self defence is against the law and it is a form of assault, a minor one yes but a form of assault nonetheless, and that's the bottom line of it.

There are no excuses for any forms of assault, no matter how little or how large they are. It's illegal (as it should be).

If there is any justice Pollock will be arrested and charged with assault, given an appropriate punishment (compensation and formal apology for starters if you ask me) and banned from all ScotRail services, as I've previously stated. Before you undoubtedly bring it up, likewise after a fair trial, if the guy is found guilty of fare dodging then he should also be forced to compensate and be banned from all ScotRail services. But regardless, Pollock assaulted Main and that issue isn't to be disputed.
