Paramedics attended the scene and a teenage boy was treated for facial injuries and taken to hospital for further medical attention. He has since been discharged.

Two boys aged 17 and 14 were arrested on suspicion of robbery in Waterloo Road and an investigation was underway.

In a post on X at 4.53am, Southeastern announced that the main station entrance was closed due to “police dealing with an incident”.

In an update just before 8am, the company confirmed it had reopened.

As part of their investigation, officers said all parties involved have been spoken to and the support for further police action has been withdrawn.

As a result, two teenagers arrested in connection with the incident have been released without charge.
