A person has been hit by a train at a south east London railway station just before the evening rush hour.
Southeastern say a person fell from a bridge on to the tracks at West Wickham and was hit by a train at around 4.30pm.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said they were called at 3.57pm and sent paramedics, including the Air Ambulance.
He said: "We treated a man reported to be in his 40s.
"He was taken to the Royal London Hospital by the medical team from London's Air Ambulance by air."
The incident caused disruption on the Hayes line, affecting Charing Cross and Cannon Street trains.
Southeastern said the line has since reopened and services have returned to normal.
