A 22-year-old woman has been taken to hospital following an incident on board a train.

Police were called to Penge East Station at around 9.20pm after reports of an assault and a robbery on the train.

A video currently circulating on social media of the incident shows four people involved in an altercation, and shouting can be heard.

It seems that three females take it in turns to launch themselves at a fourth person in the video, who is barely visible.

The three females then walk away shouting, and one by one hit a blonde female who is walking along the platform.

A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Penge East Railway Station at around 9.20pm Yesterday (17 September) following reports of an assault and robbery on board a train.

“The victim, a 22-year-old woman, later went to hospital with minor injuries.”
