The tram moved out of the depot without a driver and kept moving even when the electricity was shut off. The 50 year old driver then epically grabbed a bicycle from a nearby person and chased the tram till he got in and switched the brakes. Due to the chase he suffered a heart attack in the tram and is now in hospital.
Despite the heroics the tram company blame him for the runaway tram, which could mean he will face a jail sentence.
"He could be put in prison for up to three years if convicted of a serious breach of work duties."-Sky News

Like djclipz says, yeah he made a mistake, which if had of left, he should of saw punishment, however he heroically saved the tram, and in his efforts suffered a heart attack, why would the tram company press charges on this poor guy?
