A police officer has been injured while arresting a man at a railway station in Sydney's west.

The officer suffered a fractured wrist after he arrested the 35-year-old man who was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant at Campbelltown Railway Station on Saturday night.

The 35-year-old allegedly ran from police but was stopped a short distance away with the help of a member of the public.

He suffered a cut to his forehead and was taken to Campbelltown Hospital, while the officer was treated at the same hospital for two fractures to his wrist.

The 35-year-old was charged with the outstanding warrant, escape lawful custody and resist police.

He is expected to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.
