Cape Town train torched

By Busisiwe Mtabane

Two coaches were completely burnt down in Cape Town after a train caught fire this morning. Police Spokesperson Superintendent Billy Jones says the train had stopped at Philippi Station when the fire broke out between 5 am and 6 am. He says the train was apparently torched and a case of malicious damage to property has been opened. News 24 reports that according to Metrorail this was a third fire incident in as many days on its trains after two trains were burnt in Pretoria on Thursday night. No casualties were reported in all three cases.
