A pair of vandals has been caught on video chasing down a train, spray-painting one of its carriages, and then fleeing from police by scaling a fence. The footage, which has circulated widely on social media, has prompted a police investigation.

It shows two individuals, their faces covered and carrying what appear to be spray paint cans, running alongside the moving train.
Both can be seen glancing over their shoulders as they sprint.
When the train comes to a stop, one of the pair tags the side of a carriage while also appearing to film the act on their phone.
Moments later, the duo scrambles over a fence as three police officers arrive in pursuit. The officers stop short of climbing the fence.
Passengers on board the train can be heard reacting to the incident, with some chanting 'trespassers, trespassers.'
'Get outa here,' one woman yells.
The pair is then seen running across a road and into a nearby residential area.
The Queensland Police Service has confirmed the incident and said an investigation is underway.
'Queensland Police are investigating a graffiti and trespassing incident at Newmarket last week,' a spokesperson said.
'As the train stopped, two suspects have graffitied the left side of the train, before jumping over a nearby fence upon being challenged by police.
'They then ran across Newmarket Road and fled through a number of properties.'
The Logan Graffiti social media pages frequently post photos and videos of graffiti on trains, railway infrastructure, and nearby walls.

Russian transport minister Roman Starovoit dies by ‘suicide' after being sacked
Don't miss out on the headlines from World. Followed categories will be added to My News. Russia's transport minister allegedly shot himself just hours after President Vladimir Putin dismissed him from his post. Roman Starovoit was abruptly fired on Monday after just a year in his key position, The New York Post reported. He was then found dead inside his car in Odintsovo, a neighbourhood just west of Moscow where Russia's elite reside. Mr Starovoit was found with a gun that was an official gift from the Kremlin, officials said. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on Mr Starovoit's dismissal, with no reason for his firing listed on the Kremlin's website. Officials also did not give a reason for his reported suicide. Russian transport minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in his car on Monday.

Picture: Evgeniy Razumniy/Kommersant Photo via AP Mr Starovoit was tapped as Russia's new transport minister in May 2024 after serving as the governor of the Kursk region, an area at the heart of an embezzlement case that allegedly aided Ukraine's surprise counter-invasion last year. The Kremlin has been investigating allegations that officials in Kursk embezzled state funds meant for fortifying the region around the time Ukraine was planning its major assault on Russian soil. The Kursk invasion was the first time in Russia's history that Moscow lost land to an invader since World War II, leaving Mr Putin humiliated and forcing the Russian army to scramble for months to reclaim the land. Mr Starovoit's successor in Kursk, Alexi Smirnov, was allegedly tied to the incident and arrested on embezzlement charges in April, with Russian media claiming that charges were pending for the transport minister.

Mr Starovoit's dismissal also comes after a weekend of travel chaos plagued Russian airports, with more than 160 flights cancelled and another 240 delayed due to Ukraine's drone attacks. Russian commentators speaking about Mr Starovoit's sacking, however, said that the disruptions have become common due to the frequency of Ukraine's attacks, claiming the weekend chaos likely played no role in his dismissal. Following Mr Starovoit's firing – but before his death was reported – his deputy transport minister, Andrei Nikitin, was tapped as his replacement. 'At present, in the President's opinion, Andrei Nikitin's professional qualities and experience will best contribute to ensuring that this agency, which the President described as extremely important, fulfils its tasks and functions,' Mr Peskov said in a press conference that took place before Mr Starovoit's death became public.
