Paris - About 30 people were slightly injured on Thursday when a suburban train hit a rail buffer as it pulled into a Paris station, police said.
A spokesperson for the state-owned rail company SNCF said the passengers suffered "a few bruises" when the train came to a sudden halt as it arrived at the Gare de l'Est station in the morning rush-hour.
"It's not an accident, but an incident, which happens from time to time," said the spokesperson, saying the train had "hit the buffer a bit roughly".
