A man and a woman arrested following an incident at Maidstone Barracks railway station have been released on bail, pending further enquiries.

Officers were called to the station on Wednesday afternoon following concern for a man and woman on a bridge over the tracks.

The station closed at around 4.15pm and a roadblock was put in place on Buckland Hill, while trains were suspended between Paddock Wood and Strood as a result of the disruption, with buses brought in to transport passengers.

An eyewitness said: "There were two people who jumped from the bridge in a hurry and landed on the pavement.

"One was wearing a pink hoodie and police were scrambling the minute they were off the bridge.

"It looked as if the people on the bridge had ran up Buckland Hill. A man was then escorted towards a police van."

The station reopened at around 6.10pm.

British Transport Police later said a man and woman were "refusing to come down from the bridge over the station were brought down and detained safely".

A spokesman added: "They have been arrested on suspicion of robbery offences and obstructing the railway."

Kent Police have now confirmed the man and woman, both aged 21, and of no fixed abode, were bailed pending further enquiries until May 17.

Passengers travelling from London St Pancras to Maidstone West were advised to use the Victoria Line and travel from Victoria to Maidstone East during the disruption.
