Two youths were seen running from a nearby estate after petrol bombs were thrown onto the railway line in Lurgan late last night (Tuesday).
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident which happened after the last train passed the station near Lake Street.
Sergeant Meaney said: “Two youths were seen running from the nearby Kilwilkie estate and throwing two petrol bombs at the railway track, when the barrier was lowered and the last train had gone through.
