TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes, commented:

"This is a shocking incident and our entire TSSA union sends our thoughts and solidarity to those involved and their families.

"Though the full facts are yet to emerge, what happened serves as a reminder that violence on our rail network will never be tolerated. Sadly, workers on the frontline of our transport system all too often face threats to their wellbeing.
