Train commuters faced delays during rush hour on Thursday - after a “drunk man caused a disturbance” on-board and then stood IN FRONT of the train when it stopped.

The train stopped at Stechford at 8.40am as the man was reportedly being aggressive on-board.

Train lines suspended
Breaking news to bring you on the railway this morning.
All trains towards Coventry from Birmingham have been suspended.
It is thought it is due to a police incident on a train further down the line.
Queuing traffic on M40
Although the M40 looks relatively quiet from the motorway camera, in the top right hand corner, you can see the traffic backing up as it queues onto the exit slip road for J14 at Leamington.
The road is very quiet after the junction, but on the approach you will most likely get stuck in heavy traffic.
Thoughts are with families of firefighters
Our thoughts are today with the families who lost their loves ones in a fire in Atherstone on Stour ten years ago today.
On this day in 2007, Ian Reid, 44, John Averis, 27, Ashley Stephens, 20, and Darren Yates-Badley, 24, all died in the fire at a vegetable packing plant.
Around 100 firefighters from across the Midlands were mobilised to deal with the suspected arson attack.
Queuing traffic on Watling Street
On the A5 Watling Street in both directions around A47 Dodwells Road / B4666 Coventry Road there is queuing traffic.
It looks like it’s just rush hour traffic.
Good morning!
Welcome to Thursday Coventry and Warwickshire!
Nearly the weekend, and the traffic is treating us too today.
There’s no reported problems as of yet on the roads this morning.
We will of course be here throughout rush hour to keep you updated.
