POLICE have launched an urgent manhunt for a man they would like to speak to after a passenger threatened to detonate a grenade on a train.
The British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to after the incident on a train between Skegness and Nottingham.
A passenger who was spotted swearing on the train was approached by a train guard and asked to stop.
The man then pulled a grenade from his bag and pulled the pin on it in response to the guard.
Thankfully, the little bomb didn’t detonate and the man claimed to be joking.
He then went on to continue acting threateningly towards other passengers with the grenade still in his possession.
He eventually left the train at Boston with police launching a probe into the terrifying incident.
The harrowing experience unfolded on Sunday, May 18, with The British Transport Police now releasing images of a man they would like to speak to.
A statement given out alongside the images reads: “The force believe he may have information which could help the investigation.
“Anyone who recognises him or who has any information is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 392 of May 18, 2025.”
