- GRANT MCCABE

A THUG guilty of trying to kill a train passenger in a horror bottle attack has been jailed for 12 years.

Thomas Craig, 48, repeatedly stabbed Glenn Lennon with the smashed bottle on the Glasgow Queen Street to Perth service.

The 23-year-old victim was struck near the heart, with his injuries including a collapsed lung and a severed artery.

He also lost 40 per cent of his blood in the frenzied attack in February 2024.

Glenn was set upon after Craig initially turned on the man's friend Aaron Nelson, 22, on the train following a minor disagreement.

Shocking footage - released by British Transport Police showed a raging Craig leaping from his seat armed with the glass bottle.
