All services on a Watford line were blocked this afternoon after fights broke out on a train and platform.
British Transport Police have confirmed that two men have been arrested on suspicion of affray after National Rail said that no Overground trains could run between London Euston and Watford just after 2pm.
It was shared that emergency services were dealing with “multiple incidents”, at the time.
