Rail commuters travelling between St Albans and London St Pancras experienced delays after a woman threatened to harm herself on the line this morning.

British Transport Police (BTP) were called to a stretch of the line near Radlett station shortly after 9am.

A spokesperson for BTP said: "The woman was removed from an embankment, detained under the Mental Health Act and taken to hospital for assessment."
