Shocking moment boy 'hurled off train by conductor' on his way to school

Video footage captured the shocking moment a conductor appeared to hurl a boy off a train on his way to school.

Marley, 15, boarded the train to Wigan at Appley Bridge at around 8.30am on Wednesday (November 22), the Liverpool Echo reports. He and his sister Milly were heading to school.

Their mum Jennifer Hurrell said she purchased both of her children's tickets on the Trainline app that morning, with virtual copies being emailed to the children's phones. But when a conductor asked to see the tickets, Marley was unable to immediately present his due to a poor wi-fi connection.

Milly then captured the shocking moment the conductor on the Northern train appeared to grab Marley as he tried to bring the ticket up on his phone. Marley then appeared to be thrown off onto the platform at Gathurst as he said 'do not touch me, get off me now'.

Jennifer said her son was left 'shaken up' after the ordeal. Northern confirmed an 'internal investigation' was underway, with the conductor already spoken to.

British Transport Police said officers were investigating 'reports of an assault'. Jennifer, 40, said: "It was absolutely shocking.

"Just brutal force, not even trying to guide him off. You can see Marley trying to load up his ticket - you can clearly see him doing it in the video.

"He wasn't getting mad. But (the conductor) just picked him up and chucked him off the train.

"They were stuck at the train station and Milly rang me crying, saying please come and pick us up. I don't know what to do now
