Detective Inspector Bob Richardson from British Transport Police said she was lukcy to have not been more seriously injured.

He said: "It would appear the woman had spoken to the men about smoking earlier this week. This morning when she was at the station, she was walking past the same men when one them pushed her and she fell onto the track.

"The woman was very lucky she was not more seriously injured. The third rail carries 750 volts of electricity and she could have been electrocuted or even struck by an early morning train."
