Woman quelled brawlers 'by giving a "mum" look'

A Crediton woman has described how she broke up a fight involving seven men on a train... by giving them a 'mum' look and telling them to 'stop messing around'


45 year old Naomi Spencer has received a bravery award from the British Transport Police this morning for putting herself at risk to keep other passengers safe.

She was travelling home from Exeter on a busy commuter train when two groups of men, who'd clashed in a pub earlier, encountered one another on board and a violent situation began to develop.

Her intervention did calm the situation and the youths were dealt with by the transport police.
