"Man acted like US cop"
The picture shows the man standing over one of three boys who got on at Blackburn on the Clitheroe to Manchester Victoria service.
They are believed to be aged between eight and 11 and were apparently unaccompanied.
The man is said to have approached them and asked them to take their feet off their seats.
Witnesses said that they were being ‘quite cocky’.
The 17-year-old added: ‘He threatened them with a “clip around the ear” and then went and sat back down. The children then put their feet back up and wouldn’t take them down. The guy then went over again and tried to take
their feet down.’
That’s when he is alleged to have put one of them into an arm lock.

She said: ‘Kids were badly behaved and no parents but only about 8 to 10yrs – 3 boys. Man acted like US cop. Kid crying.’
