A London man has been arrested in Chatham after he was allegedly caught hitching a ride on the outside of a passenger train.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service was contacted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Wednesday shortly before 6 a.m. regarding an unauthorized person on board a VIA Rail train that was travelling from Windsor to Chatham.
After the train arrived at the station on Queen Street in Chatham, a man was found on top of the rear engine and taken into custody.
A 46-year-old London man is now charged with break-and-enter to commit an indictable offence. He was taken to police headquarters and later released with a future court date.
