Officers are keen to hear from anyone who was at Hamilton Central railway station between 9.15pm and 9.30pm on Saturday night.

Any witnesses or anyone with information can contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 522 of 13/03/21.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Train services were cancelled at the station’s platform two as police investigated the incident.

A tweet from Scotrail read: “Police have carried out their investigations on platform one, services can now call at Hamilton Central on platform one only.

“Unfortunately they’re still carrying out investigations on platform two and this will have to remain closed for passenger use at this time.”

Commuters were urged to use Hamilton West Station.
