A person on a motorcycle has been hit by a train at Frösunda station on Roslagsbanan north of Stockholm.

The person in question was taken to hospital by helicopter and was awake and able to speak, but the extent of the injuries is unclear, says Marie Nordahl, operations manager at the rescue service.

The driver is said to have been "pushed" by the train, causing the person to fall off and not be hit, according to Marie Nordahl.

The alarm came in at 18.16 and traffic was stopped. The rescue service has completed its operation at the site and the train stop has been lifted.

The police have also been on site. The accident is being investigated as assault and battery.

A report has been filed to investigate what happened, says police spokesperson Jenny Ryberg.
