Police closed the junction in the early hours of Sunday July 31 after being called to a report of an injured person just at 11.43pm the previous day. Emergency services were unable to help the man when they arrived at the station and he was pronounced dead at the scene. His relatives have been informed and are being cared for by trained officers. Following the incident, the police arrested a man on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody this morning. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Langley said: “This was a senseless act of violence which resulted in the tragic loss of a man’s life. Officers quickly made an arrest at the scene and one man remains in custody this morning. “While we are still in the very early stages of our investigation, we believe the men had an argument on a train before the victim was attacked on platform eight. “Witnesses will be vital in helping us understand what happened last night and I would urge anyone who may have seen the incident or the moments leading up to it to contact us as soon as possible. “Contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 665 of 30/07/22.
