Officers were called to the station at 5:22 p.m.
Police said a 36-year-old man was carrying a large box on the platform and accidentally made contact with another man.
An argument ensued and the 36-year-old man was pushed and fell onto the tracks as a train approached, the statement said.
The victim was struck and dragged by the train, police said. He was treated in hospital for injuries.
The suspect reportedly ran out of the station.
