The British Transport Police released a statement suggesting that the men who engaged the idiot who pulled his pants down on the subway may now face arrest.

The investigation is ongoing, they say, but their statement says the men ‘assaulted’ the naked man and they are looking for witnesses on this issue.

Here’s more from the Daily Mail:

Commuters who took the law into their own hands when a Tube passenger dropped his trousers in a packed London Underground carriage could face arrest, the Daily Mail can reveal today.

British Transport Police (BTP) believe the naked man, who has since been detained under the mental health act, was assaulted on the District line in east London.

Up to four men stepped in when he repeatedly refused to pull up his pants at 3.30pm last Thursday. He was pinned to the floor and carried off the train before being arrested by an off duty police officer.

But detectives are probing whether the vigilantes committed any criminal offences in the confrontation after he refused to pull up his pants.

BTP has appealed for witnesses to the incident but there have been no arrests over the brawl.

‘The man had been assaulted by a number of other passengers and was initially arrested by an off duty officer, before being detained under the mental health act and taken to hospital,’ the BTP statement said.

‘An investigation into the incident is ongoing.’

Once again the naked man is being portrayed as the victim. How ridiculous. Yes, it got physical with the man but he was also hitting them with this belt. They eventually subdued the man, which was absolutely necessary to stop the obscene spectacle.
