Two teenagers rushed to hospital after Scots train station incident

Two teenagers have been taken to hospital after reports of a fight involving a number of youths at a North Ayrshire train station.

As well as the two boys, a 17-year-old girl was hurt during the incident in Irvine on Friday night.

Platforms at the station remained closed on Saturday morning due to the disruption before reopening some hours later.

British Transport Police (BTP) have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

A spokesman said: "Officers were called to Irvine railway station at 9.51pm on June 9 following reports of youths fighting. Paramedics also attended and two boys, aged 16 and 17, were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening or life-changing.

"A girl, also aged 17, sustained a minor head injury and was taken to her home address."

No arrests have been made and police say their inquiries are ongoing. Witnesses have been asked to text BTP 61016 quoting reference number 738 of June 9.

The spokesman added: "The public can expect to see additional officers at the station and in the area to ensure the safety of everyone using the railway."
