A LONE woman was allegedly touched inappropriately by a drunk man on a train travelling between Cardiff and Newport, the British Transport Police (BTP) have said.
The woman was travelling alone on a Transport for Wales Cheltenham Spa service.
After boarding at Cardiff Central railway station, a drunk man reportedly sat next to the woman - who was at the front of the rear carriage - and began talking to her.
The drunk man then reportedly began touching the woman inappropriately.
"The man refused to move for a while when the woman attempted to leave her seat," the BTP said.
