The video released by police on Thursday morning showed the man casually pouring accelerant from a plastic water bottle over three seats on the train in Laverton in Melbourne's south-west. Police allege the man set fire to the train while it was stopped at Laverton station on March 16. In January a young 'eshay' with a mullet threatened to bash an adult on a Melbourne train, before declaring that he 'owns Frankston'. The term eshay is similar to the UK phrase 'chav' and can be interchangeable with 'lad', which in turn sometimes becomes 'adlay'. 'Eshay' may have started as 'eshay adlay' - pig Latin for 'he's lad' or be related to 'sesh', for a prolonged period of drug consumption.
