A MAN who urinated on a Tube platform and smashed a glass ticket gate has been ordered to pay £2,807 compensation to London Underground.

Gary Wade, 29, of Blenheim Crescent, Ruislip, was also fined £465 at Ealing Magistrates' Court on April 3 after pleading guilty to criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly at Perivale Tube station.

PC Ross McAlpine, of British Transport Police, said: "Officers were called to Perivale shortly before midnight on March 5 following a report of a man causing a disturbance at the station.

"Staff reported that Wade had entered the station and urinated on the platform before proceeding to block passengers from gaining access."

After shouting and swearing at staff and refusing to leave the station, Wade smashed the top half of a manual gate next to the ticket barriers, sending shards of glass flying.

"His actions were antisocial and totally unacceptable."
