Man jailed for trying to kill toddler by stepping in front of train in Glasgow

Frederick Danquah intended to kill a toddler to cause emotional harm to the boy's mother and was sentenced to 10 years after being found guilty of attempted murder.

  • At the High Court in Glasgow, Danquah received a 10-year sentence today after being found guilty last month of attempting to kill a toddler.
  • After splitting from his partner, Frederick Danquah took the toddler to Garrowhill railway station on July 2, 2023, and assaulted him by stepping in front of a train.
  • CCTV footage shows Danquah carrying the child on his shoulders then stepping in front of a train just before 7.20pm.
  • Judge Tony Kelly said, `You endangered the life of the boy, You intended to take his life` and imposed a non-harassment order until the boy is 18.
  • DCI Marc Francey of British Transport Police said only luck prevented death, and the now four-year-old is doing well with his family wanting to move forward.
