Details of the incident involving Mr Lewis had been disputed.
ScotRail said that it was "delighted" the strike was off and that services would be working normally over the festive period.
A spokesman said: "We are delighted that common sense has prevailed and the threat of industrial action has been lifted.
"It is the right decision. Our customers can look forward to normal services over Christmas and to travel to be with family and friends."
An RMT spokesman said: "RMT can confirm that industrial action on ScotRail has been called off as a satisfactory agreement has now been reached between the union and the company."
Meanwhile, in a separate dispute, management from CrossCountry trains have been in talks with RMT officials, attempting to avert a strike planned for Friday which would affect their services on the East Coast Mainline.
CrossCountry described the talks as "constructive" and said proposals for resolving the outstanding issues had been forwarded to the RMT's executive committee with a recommendation to call off the proposed industrial action.
