Guns found on train

Police are hunting a man who jumped from a train shortly before a haul of four handguns and 40 rounds of ammunition were found on board. British Transport Police said there was no known connection between the man and the haul found at Manchester's Piccadilly station on Saturday by rail cleaning staff, but they were keen to re-interview him. He dived through a window before the train reached Wolverhampton after a dispute with a guard who called police. The passenger was later found hiding near Wolverhampton station, questioned about his behaviour and released.
