A large block of concrete has been thrown at a train that was approaching a Doncaster station.
Image source, British Transport PoliceIt happened last Tuesday evening as the Northern train was approaching Hatfield and Stainforth station and was passing under the Cuckoo Lane road bridge.
As it went under the bridge police say "a very large piece of concrete" was thrown from the bridge and struck the driver’s cab.
Detectives are now trying to find those responsible.
Image source, British Transport PoliceOfficers say that luckily it hit the other side to where the driver was sitting, but could have caused the driver serious or potentially even fatal injuries.
DC Lee Parsons, said: “It is astonishing that someone thought it was a clever idea to throw this very large rock over into the path of this train."
He added “Trains travel at very high speeds, and a large rock like this can easily break through the glass. What might seem like a bit of fun, can have extremely serious consequences.

Image source, Labour PartyThe Labour MP for Sheffield Central, Paul Blomfield, says the move is a double betrayal:
Quote MessageAt a time when there has never been a greater focus on the impact of diesel fuel on the environment their decision to scrap electrification is incredibly irresponsible. It’s an utter disgrace that this announcement is on the last day of Parliament when the decision can’t be properly challenged.”

A York taxi driver has been fined £748 for unfair trading and plying for trade.
Image source, ThinkstockFifty-four-year-old Ian Limbert of Elmpark View, York, drove three passengers from York to Thirsk without pre-booking their fare.
He was driving a City of York Council licensed private hire car, which only allows the driver to pick up pre-booked fares.
City of York Council say that one of the people travelling in the taxi realised that he was acting illegally and demanded her fare back before leaving the car.
They added that Limbert tried to pull the customer out of the car after making a U-turn with the passenger rear door open and one passenger half out the car.
City of York Council have said that it's important people have confidence in their taxi service:
Quote MessageHarassing a passenger in this way as well as flouting the law governing private hire is unacceptable.

Read MoreWarning over pupil's haircuts: School's statementpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 20 July 2017
Nick Wilmshurst
BBC Local Live, YorkshireEarlier we were telling you about the West Yorkshire school that is threatening to put pupils into isolation during school days if their haircut doesn't meet up to their regulations.
It's left one West Yorkshire teenager very upset after he was identified as not having an "acceptable" hairstyle by Boston Spa School.
His mum described her son's hair cut as "normal" and that he's not even expressing himself with his hairstyle.
The School also say in a letter that hairstyles should not reflect "youth culture", but Joshua's mum, Sarah, says that if he was working "he wouldn't be told to have a specific haircut."
In a statement the Boston Spa School says: "As part of our partnership with the Gorse Academies Trust from September, we will be adopting the same hairstyle policy which is already, successfully, in place in nine other schools in the trust.
They add "This is one of several policies we are adopting to bring our school in line with all others in the partnership.”
