A teenager has been stabbed in the buttocks at a train station.

The 17-year-old was sat on the platform at Sittingbourne when he was approached by a group, two of which attacked him.

He received hospital treatment after being stabbed in the bottom but was later discharged.

Officers from British Transport Police were called to the incident, which happened at about 10.35pm on Saturday, and sealed off part of the Sheerness-bound platform.

It is believed a grey Ford Transit Connect van was involved in the incident.

A spokesman for the ambulance service confirmed it received a call to the railway station shortly before 11pm but said he couldn't comment further.

Police have now launched an appeal for more information.

The spokesman said: "We are making inquiries into the circumstances of this incident."

There have not been any arrests in connection with the assault.

Anyone with information should text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 735 of 16 June.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
