British Transport Police (BPT) and paramedics were scrambled to the station following reports the man had been struck by a train at 12.25pm.

A BTP spokesman said: "Officers are currently dealing with an incident at Leeds railway station after receiving a report that a man has been struck by a train at the station.

"Officers are at the scene with paramedics, determining the circumstances of the incident, which is not being treated as suspicious."
