A number of London-bound Southeastern trains are facing knock-on delays after police were called to deal with a disruptive passenger at Slade Green station earlier this morning.
Met officers, along with the British Transport Police, were called to the station shortly before 7am following reports of a man aggressively shouting at and alarming passers-by.
A Met spokeswoman said a man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of a public-order offence outside the footbridge of the station.
Reports on social media claimed a Taser was used, but a spokesman for BTP denied this.
Both forces said the incident was not being treated as terror-related and enquiries are ongoing.

Southeastern has said a number of trains heading towards London were diverted through Bexleyheath because of the incident which has created a back-log of services.
Anyone who witnessed the event is being asked to call BTP on 0800405040, quoting reference number 45 of 28/01/2019.
