A train has crashed into a station in Brisbane, injuring at least eight people.

Authorities say eight people suffered minor injuries when the train crashed in Cleveland, a suburb in the southeast of the city.

The Courier Mail reports that a woman with serious head injuries is believed to be on the train, but emergency services cannot reach her due to live electrical wires.

A witness told ABC News half of the train's first carriage slammed into the refurbished building when it failed to stop around 9:30am (local time).

"A few people are being taken out with minor lacerations to the head," he said.

The Cleveland line had been experiencing power problems throughout the morning, but it is not clear whether this contributed to the crash.

Queensland Ambulance has set up a triage area at the station and the train is being searched for anyone else with injuries.
