A man was restrained by staff at Tonbridge Railway Station this morning after reportedly threatening to stab people to death.

Kent Police were called to the Barden Road site at 10.40am after an earlier incident at High Brooms station.

British Transport Police also attended and arrested the suspect.

A BTP spokesman said: “We were called to Tonbridge station after a report of a customer being abusive to staff.

“A man was acting aggressively towards staff and passengers, and a Tunbridge Wells to Cannon Street service was held at the station to await police arrival.

“A 22-year-old man from Tonbridge was subsequently arrested for common assault, fare evasion, and criminal damage.

“He currently remains in custody.”

A spokesman for Southeastern said: "The police were called to Tonbridge station to deal with a disruptive passenger. The incident caused delays to our services through Tonbridge while the matter was dealt with.”
