A man and toddler have been rushed to hospital after they were both hit by a train.

An emergency response was called to Garrowhill station shortly before 7.30pm on Sunday after they received a report of two casualties on the tracks. 

The man and two-year-old child were found on the tracks and rushed to hospital.

While the toddler's injuries are not currently being treated as life-threatening, the man is said to be battling serious injuries.

An investigation has now been launched into the incident and transport cops are urging any witnesses to the incident to get in touch.

A British Transport Police spokesperson said: "Officers were called to Garrowhill station shortly before 7.30pm on July 2 following reports of two casualties on the tracks.
