A recent event took place at Surbiton train station in west London, causing quite a stir. It appears that two teenagers have been charged for their involvement in a chemical attack on police officers at the station on Friday. The boys, aged 16 and 14, have been accused of possessing a corrosive substance in a public place. Due to legal reasons, their identities have not been revealed. They are scheduled to appear in court at Wimbledon Magistrates Court on December 2.
According to British Transport Police, the incident occurred around 4:20pm on November 29 when two individuals were spotted acting suspiciously. As officers approached them, they were exposed to a substance believed to be alkaline. As a result, two officers were taken to the hospital and have since been discharged. Additionally, seven other officers, including two from the Metropolitan Police, were checked by paramedics at the scene.
The incident caused significant delays at the station, with trains not stopping for approximately three hours. However, normal service has since resumed, as confirmed by South Western Railway. Unfortunately, some disruption is still expected, with an estimated time of 11:45pm today for things to return to normal. A spokesperson for the railway company stated that due to the emergency services attending to the situation between Surbiton and Woking, all lines were blocked. This has resulted in possible cancellations, delays, or changes to train schedules.
