A police officer and rail worker were assaulted at a railway station, leading to partial closures as people were leaving the BBC Radio 2 in the Park music festival.
The attack, described as an "isolated incident", happened at about 21:30 BST on Saturday at Preston station, British Transport Police said.
A man aged in his 50s was arrested and officers said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the assault.
