Two trains collided in Denmark on Thursday, injuring between five and 10 people, local emergency services said.

The incident happened north of Copenhagen, on a train line linking the towns of Hillerod and Kagerup, police said in a statement.

"It is two local trains that have collided head-on," a spokesperson for the Greater Copenhagen fire department told Reuters.

"There are injuries among the passengers. Everyone is out of the trains, so no one is trapped... Large resources have been dispatched to the scene," the spokesperson added.

The number of people injured was believed to be between five and 10, public broadcaster DR reported, citing police.
