Student Jailed for Assaulting Railway Worker

Cheyenne Naeb, a 26-year-old PhD philosophy student at Dundee University, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for pushing railway worker Brittany Mansfield onto the tracks at Glasgow's Queen Street station after missing his train on February 1, 2023. Enraged by the train's departure, Naeb verbally abused Mansfield before pushing her onto the tracks just as another train was preparing to leave. The Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Naeb showed 'no concern' for Mansfield after the incident and faces career ruin after pleading guilty to assault and behaving in a threatening manner. Sheriff John McCormick described Naeb's actions as a 'gross overreaction' with potentially catastrophic consequences, emphasizing the serious physical and mental impact on the victim. Mansfield, who injured her hip during the fall, expressed disappointment at the length of Naeb's sentence, stating she had hoped for a harsher punishment. The case highlights the severe repercussions of unchecked anger in public spaces.
