A PHILOSOPHY student pushed a railway worker onto tracks after he claimed she made him miss his train.

Cheyenne Naeb, 26, lashed out at Brittany Mansfield at Glasgow's Queen Street station on February 1 2023.

Naeb, of Dundee, was enraged after dispatcher Miss Mansfield allowed a train to leave which he wished to board at 9.11am.

The American attacker pointed his finger at Miss Mansfield and went on a verbal tirade towards her.

Naeb went on to push her on to the tracks shortly before a train on the line was set to depart.

Naeb walked off showing "no concern" for injured Miss Mansfield before he was stopped by police.

Naeb pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Miss Mansfield to her injury and danger of life.

He also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

The court heard that Miss Mansfield had dispatched a train on platform seven which pulled away when Naeb walked towards her.

Miss Mansfield told him that the train had gone and he shouted: "Don't you come near me, you made me miss my train.

"Don't look at me you scumbag c***."

Miss Mansfield turned to face Naeb who pointed his finger at her while being aggressive.

As a result of his behaviour, she told Naeb that he was no longer allowed to travel.

Prosecutor Ross Canning said: "Naeb lunged forward and pushed Miss Mansfield with both hands to her chest with such force that she came off the end of the platform.

"She landed in between the running lines of platform seven in front of a train that was preparing to leave the station.

"Miss Mansfield was able to grab hold of Naeb's sleeve which somewhat broke her fall."

The hearing was told that Naeb walked away from Miss Manfield showing "no concern" for her.

She requested assistance on her work radio as she pulled herself up from the 915-millimeter drop despite injuring her hip in the fall.

It was also noted that she had cuts to her hand, scrapes to her legs and a swollen elbow when she later attended hospital.

Naeb went on to try and bypass the police who were made aware of the situation but he was stopped.

Michael O'Neill, defending, told the court: "He is clearly an intelligent man.

"I am instructed to move for bail. He is a man without any previous convictions and studies philosophy at university."

Sentence was deferred until the end of the month by Sheriff John McCormick who remanded Naeb in custody meantime.

He said: "You pushed a railway worker on to tracks at Queen Street station during a busy commuting time.

"Standing the gravity and nature of the offence, it is unlikely there will be an alternative to custody."
