The 'Big Man' who threw an apparent fare dodger off a train, has been charged with assault.
Alan Pollock, 35, allegedly intervened in an argument between student Sam Main and a ticket collector who claimed the teenager did not have a valid ticket and should 'get off' the train.
Main, 19, has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal for a breach of the peace and trespass.

The incident, on board the 9.33 pm Edinburgh to Perth service on December 9, was filmed by a fellow passenger and posted on YouTube, where it has since been viewed almost two million times.
British Transport Police said today: 'British Transport Police can now confirm that a 35-year-old man from Stirling and a 19-year-old man from Falkirk are the subject of a report to the local Procurator Fiscal in connection with an incident on-board the 21:33 Edinburgh Waverley to Perth service, at Linlithgow on Friday 9 December 2011.'
It is understood that Pollock, a performance manager with asset management company BlackRock, who lives in Stirling's Riverside district, has been charged by police with assaulting Main.
