To barge on someone=To barge in on someone?

Do they mean the same thing?

I've seen both being used in similar context.

Thanks

To barge, (often followed by around) means to rush or lurch clumsily about.
To barge in, or into means; to intrude or interrupt rudely.
To barge into also means; to collide with.

When I saw it used, I think the person used *to barge on*.
Is that grammartically right?

Yes, it's probably OK. e.g. He barged on (or onto) the bus, bowling over two old ladies.
