Two commuters were injured in a hammer attack at Stratford Station in London on Tuesday morning.
Police were called just before 6am after the men were assaulted on the station concourse.
A 26-year-old man from East Ham was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm, common assault and possession of an offensive weapon. A hammer was recovered during the arrest and the man is in police custody.
Both have been taken to hospital for treatment for non-life threatening injuries. The first victim received a laceration to his head as well as a suspected fractured shoulder. The second victim is being treated for minor bruising.
One eyewitness told The Sun: “I came out of the station and the (attacker) was drawing attention to himself with how loud he was being.
“He approached another person asking for a cigarette and the guy said ‘no’ and this person pulled a hammer out and just started hitting him.”
