A teenager has been charged over the stabbing of a railway employee after an alleged dispute over an unpaid rail fare.
The Southeastern railway staff member was knifed after approaching the suspect and apparently challenging him over a ticket at Bromley South Station, south-east London, police say.
The employee was rushed to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but was discharged later that day.
Two other staff were also attacked during the incident and were treated at the scene for their injuries.
Police say a 17-year-old boy was arrested at the scene within minutes of the attack on Bank Holiday Monday.

Letter: Time to bring in flatter fares for London Time to bring in flatter fares for London and end the penalty for people living in outer boroughs Tube fare rises are back, and they are hitting people in outer boroughs hardest. This is nothing new – Zone 1–6 travel has increased in cost by £395.60 a year since 2016, compared with a rise of £211.60 for Zone 1–2. Sian Berry, Green Party mayoral candidate, is committing to eliminate this inequality. As Mayor, Sian would bring down outer London fares and create a single zone, with all tube and rail fares costing the same.
