A 43-year-old man has been arrested for thrashing a Railway Protection Force personnel after the latter objected to him urinating on a railway station premises in Maharashtra's Palghar district, an official said on Friday.

Around 1.15 am on Thursday, an RPF jawan spotted the man, later identified as Chand Badsha Ajij Khan, relieving himself near the booking office at Nalasopara railway station, on the outskirts of Mumbai, the official said.
