Man pushed onto train tracks at Catford Bridge station
A man was pushed onto the train tracks at Catford Bridge station during rush hour this morning.
British Transport Police (BTP) were called to the station at 7.37am to reports of a person on the tracks.
A spokeswoman for BTP said: "One man had been accidentally pushed onto the tracks. He was checked over for injuries and was able to continue his journey."
Concerned commuters reported that the Southeastern train was unexpectedly shorter than usual which led to someone falling from the platform.
