Woman pushed onto railway line over stop smoking plea

A COMMUTER who was pushed on to a railway line after telling two young men to stop smoking on a station platform said she was “lucky to be alive”.

Linda Buchanan, 58, suffered bruising and a fractured wrist and was taken to hospital after the incident, which happened at Farningham Road station in Kent during yesterday’s morning’s rush hour.

She told Sky News: “I’m just thinking at the end of the day I am lucky to be alive. It could have been a lot worse than it has been. I’m just shocked by the whole experience.”
