Delay reason bingo

A friend on Facebook shared this SWR^» (South Western Railway - about) delay mesaage:

"Delayed due to a guard being abusive towards passengers on an earlier train and the police having to be called"

You'd hope that 'guard' and 'passengers' had been transposed in that message. But no, a SWR guard did indeed apparently have a meltdown at Vauxhall.

Looking for a lighter moment, there are of course 6 possibilities:

Delayed due to the police being abusive towards passengers on an earlier train and a guard having to be called
Delayed due to passengers being abusive towards the police on an earlier train and a guard having to be called
Delayed due to the police being abusive towards a guard on an earlier train and passengers having to be called
Delayed due to a guard being abusive towards the police on an earlier train and passengers having to be called
Delayed due to passengers being abusive towards a guard on an earlier train and the police having to be called
Delayed due to a guard being abusive towards passengers on an earlier train and the police having to be called

Code:

words = ["a guard","passengers","the police"]
reason = "Delayed due to {} being abusive towards {} on an earlier train and {} having to be called"
for k in range(len(words)):
	for j in range(len(words)):
		if j == k: continue
		hv = list(range(len(words)))
		hv[k]=-1; hv[j]=-1
		i = list(filter(lambda x:x>-1,hv))[0]
		print(reason.format(words[i],words[j],words[k]))

Delayed due to passengers being abusive towards a train and a guard having to be called
Delayed due to a guard being abusive towards a train and the police having to be passengers
etc...
