A SCOTTISH FAST-SERVICE RAIL TRAIN CARRYING SOCCER fans from Edinburgh home to Aberdeen after a game was forced to make an emergency stop in Kirkcaldy Saturday evening. For some reason, a large number of the fans were dressed in sheep costumes for the day’s adventure.
The BBC News reports:
A 24-year-old football fan dressed as a sheep suffered serious burns to his arms and legs when his suit caught fire on a train in Fife.
Aberdeen fans said the man ran ablaze through the carriage as others threw beer on him to douse the flames.
The man was taken to the hospital in Kirkcaldy with burns to his arms and legs where he is in “serious but stable condition.” The British Transport Police have arrested a 23-yr.-old man in connection with the incident and are questioning a 2nd person.
The train was forced to wait at the Kirkcaldystation for over two hours while the police conducted their investigation, creating a scheduling chaos over the entire line.
