Following the incident, where the train was backed up and David pulled from the track he was then taken to St. Thomas's Hospital for checks.
David Ruffley has been the Conservative MP for Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, since 1997.
A British Transport Police source told The Sun:
"It was not believed to be an accident. Witnesses said he deliberately tried to jump in front of the train. At this stage it appears to have been a half-hearted attempt to kill himself.If this was as appears a suicide attempt then the Conservative Party and his family must ensure he gets all the help he needs to get him through this extremely difficult time.
There are many organisations who can help.
Let's hope David has a speedy recovery.

Of course this is sad, but it would have been awful for the train driver too and fellow passengers. It shows not only that he has problems, but it shows a callous disregard for others.
I don't think that there is anything "half-hearted" about throwing yourself in front of a train so, obviously, he needs all the help he can get.
