A 19-year-old man has been arrested after two people were attacked at Margate railway station.

Police taped off the station yesterday evening and blocked passengers from getting onto the platform as officers dealt with the incident.

Both victims were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.

The arrested 19-year-old, who is from the town, remains in custody and inquiries into the assaults are ongoing.

Officers were alerted at about 7.30pm and set up a cordon preventing access to the station.

It resulted in a large crowd of people having to wait outside until the blockade was lifted.

Both British Transport Police and Kent Police responded to Tuesday's call-out.
