Fight breaks out on packed Elizabeth line train after 'teens told to stop vaping'
A fight erupted on a crowded Elizabeth line train after a man confronted teenagers for vaping, prompting intervention from a transport worker.Summary
A scuffle broke out on a packed Elizabeth line train when a man challenged a group of teenagers who were vaping. The incident escalated after one of the girls blew vape smoke into the man’s face, leading to a physical altercation that was eventually stopped by a transport worker and other passengers. The worker confronted the teens as they exited the train, questioning their behavior. British Transport Police are investigating the incident, which occurred despite Transport for London’s (TfL) ban on vaping on public transport. While TfL has received numerous complaints about vaping – 204 between July 2022 and June 2025 – and spoken to passengers 146 times in the last year, no one has been prosecuted for vaping on buses since 2015 due to a lack of specific legislation. Police are typically called for those who refuse to cooperate or become abusive.
