A 30-year-old man and an 18-year-old youth were arrested by British Transport Police (BTP) following the incident at a railway station in Kent last week.

Lin Buchanan, 58, suffered a fractured wrist and bruising to her legs after she was pushed onto the railway line at Farningham Road station following an altercation over smoking at the station.

The man was arrested at an address in Dartford on Monday night and has been bailed until September 10 while the teenager, from Dartford, was arrested late on Tuesday night and is now being interviewed by police.

BTP London South Area Commander Chief Supt Steve Morgan said: "While this was an abhorrent incident, this type of offence on the rail network is extremely rare.

"Officers in this case have spent many days trawling through CCTV from stations between Farningham Rd and Victoria and have taken numerous witness statements from members of the public.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those members of the public who came forward and provided us with invaluable information to assist us in this investigation."
