Elliot Nash swore at one staff member before taking a running kick and lashing out at another

A fare-dodging passenger who launched a violent attack on train staff has been jailed for 15 weeks.
Video was released by British Transport Police of Elliot Nash shouting at a female ticket inspector before kicking and lashing out at her colleague.
The 32-year-old from Northfield, Birmingham , told three members of rail staff to "f*** off" and threatened to knock them out while travelling on a London Midland service in November.
Footage from one ticket officer's body cameras shows Nash repeatedly swearing and taking a running kick at another staff member in the aisle.
He then told the female inspector to “f*** off you slag,” and that she was “lucky she’s a woman”.
Police identified Nash from the footage, arresting him at his home just two hours later.
He was later charged with assault and two public order offences. He pleaded guilty at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.
PC Nicola Mallaber said: "Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Nash had the audacity to deny the offences initially, only changing his plea when the case went to trial.
"As the footage shows, his attitude is completely unacceptable and there was absolutely no need for this to have escalated into violence...all for the sake of a £2.20 fare.
"No member of rail staff should be spoken to in this way or attacked simply for doing their job. We hope this spell behind bars will teach Nash a valuable lesson and make him review his behaviour in the future."
London Midland's head of security and revenue protection, Darren Hanley, said: "No colleague or customer should have to see behaviour like this when travelling by train.
"Fare-dodging, anti-social behaviour and violence will never be tolerated by London Midland.
"In partnership with the British Transport Police and local forces we have made great strides in reducing crime and fare evasion in recent years. Incidents like this just make us more determined to make our railways even safer."

A fare dodger who was caught forging his own first class train tickets has been ordered to pay back £17,000.
Mark Mason, 44, parked in executive car parks and enjoyed luxury travel across the country for free using the fake first class rail and parking tickets.
A search of the fraudster's home revealed a sophisticated forgery set-up which included fake and genuine tickets, glossy photographic paper, computers and printers, as well as craft knives, scissors and a cutting board.

Now Mason has been ordered to pay back £17,884 over six months after he was convicted of fraud charges relating to 85 tickets used over a period of 21 months.
At a proceeds of crime hearing Mason, a contract worker, was told failure to pay will result in a default sentence of 12 months in prison.
Detective Constable David Williams, a financial investigator said: 'This sentence sends a clear message to anyone thinking of trying to evade payment of train fares and parking that it really isn't worth it.'
A search of the fraudster's home revealed a sophisticated set-up to make the fake train travel and parking tickets, including a software package which allowed him to design the counterfeit tickets (pictured)
After raiding Mason's home, police found fake and genuine tickets, glossy photographic paper, printers, as well as craft knives, scissors and a cutting board, which were all used in the ticket-making process
Mason, of Hatfield, Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, was sentenced to six months in prison suspended for two years.
He has also been ordered to carry out 240 hours unpaid work and a 12-day restorative justice course at Sheffield Crown Court.
The British Transport Police investigation began in autumn 2013 when East Coast Trains station support staff saw Mason's black Vauxhall Meriva car on several occasions in the Executive Car Park at Doncaster train station.
Various ticket discrepancies were noted including an expired ticket and tickets with wrong colours, no date and time printed, incorrect emblems and incorrect value paid.
Replicating the real tickets, Mason used software to change the details on the ticket in order to get free travel. He included the type of ticket, the date, the price, the journey and the printing date (pictured)
But inspectors noticed various ticket discrepancies, including an expired ticket and tickets with wrong colours, no date and time printed, incorrect emblems and incorrect value paid
Mason used the software to forge the back of the train ticket in meticulous detail (pictured). He has been ordered to pay back £17,884 over six months after he was convicted of fraud charges
BTP was informed and in December an officer spotted the car and approached Mason when he returned to his vehicle later that day.
He was arrested on suspicion of fraud offences and a search of the car revealed 10 further tickets believed to have been forged.
Forensic examination of the computer devices found at his home revealed Mason had used the computers to produce forged travel and parking tickets.
The offences were committed between March 24, 2011, and December 19, 2013.
