Grace Jones in train scuffle

Police escorted singer Grace Jones off a Eurostar train after she allegedly grabbed a ticket inspector's arm in an argument over her fare.

Jones, 52, also verbally abused the female inspector after being asked to pay US$132 ($184) for a seat upgrade on the evening service from Paris to London, a Eurostar spokesman said.

Jones was travelling with a first-class ticket but sat in the premium-class area and when the ticket inspector asked her to pay for the upgrade, Jones said she had no money and refused to move.
