The assault led to partial closures at Preston Railway Station

A man has been charged with the attempted murder of a police officer who was stabbed at a railway station.

An officer was attacked on Saturday evening at Preston railway station in Lancashire, British Transport Police (BTP▸ (British Transport Police)) said.

His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.

A 53-year-old man from Preston has been charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article and is due to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court later.

The attack led to partial closures of the station as people were leaving the BBC Radio 2 in the Park music festival.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
