A WANSTEAD MAN held up hundreds of frustrated commuters by climbing on the roof of a Tube Station last week.

Kanat Asanov, of Longcourt Mews, was charged with causing a public nuisance after climbing on the roof of Stratford Station on Thursday evening (September 22).

The station had to close at around 6.30pm after the 21-year-old was seen on the roof.

He has been bailed to appear at Highbury Magistrates Court on October 24.
