Shocking CCTV has revealed the brutal moment Thomas Craig went on a violent rampage with a Buckfast bottle aboard a ScotRail train. The 48-year-old thug now faces sentencing at Glasgow High Court in January 2026.
Brutal Buckfast Bottle Bash on Glasgow-Perth Train
Thomas Craig, from East Renfrewshire, erupted in a terrifying attack on February 15, 2024, during a journey from Glasgow Queen Street to Perth. What started as a simple chat quickly exploded into chaos when Craig hurled insults before smashing a Buckfast bottle twice into one man’s head.
The victim tried to escape, but Craig relentlessly chased him, striking until the bottle shattered.
Second Victim Punched and Stabbed in Brutal Assault
Craig’s savage fury didn’t end there. When the first victim’s friend stepped in, Craig landed seven punches before stabbing him twice in the chest with the jagged bottle neck.
After the attacks, Craig acted cool, tossing the broken bottle aside, pocketing a victim’s phone, and swapping his blood-soaked jumper for a clean hoodie.
Police Nab Craig as Victims Fight for Life
Officers arrested Craig at Larbert station while paramedics rushed the severely injured men to hospital. The second victim suffered life-threatening injuries, including a stab wound near the heart, a collapsed lung, and a severed artery. He lost 15% of his blood and required intensive care.
Justice Set for Glasgow Railway Horror
Craig will be sentenced on January 12, 2026, at Glasgow High Court.
BTP Detective Inspector Marc Francey said: “Craig acted in a truly despicable manner, violently and relentlessly attacking two men over a minor disagreement, causing panic among passengers. His indiscriminate violence could have had far worse consequences. Thanks to sheer luck and the lifesaving work of paramedics, Craig hasn’t been convicted of something far worse. I hope this verdict brings closure to the victims after such a brutal attack. Violence on the railway is completely unacceptable, and we will relentlessly pursue offenders like Craig to ensure justice is served.”
