A man who was captured urinating outside a railway station in the Midlands was given a mop and told to clean it up today.

Police forced the anonymous man, caught at Worcester Foregate Street, to clean up his mess on Sunday.

The incident unfolded at around 1pm.

British Transport Police shared a picture of the clean-up on social media, branding the man's urination "unacceptable".

The force also revealed the station's toilets had been open.

BTP asked the man to vacate the station and he was subsequently not allowed to travel.

British Transport Police Three Counties, which covers Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire, spoke out over Twitter.

Taking to social media, the force said: "I don't see why someone should walk through or clean up someone's else's mess."

The man's travel was refused under bylaw four of the Transport Act 2000.

The bylaw allows officers to prevent people using the railways if they are intoxicated or in possession of intoxicating liquor.

A British Transport Police spokesman revealed: "The complainant was happy with this resolution."

"Entirely unacceptable when there are public toilets on the station," one Twitter user responded.

"Good stuff. Should have been made to wear a sandwich board as well stating his offence," chipped in a second.
