Green Park Tube incident: Man arrested after reports of a ‘stabbing’ on Jubilee line as horrified commuters watch
A MAN has been arrested after reports of a knifing in front of horrified commuters on a London Underground train.
A Tube passenger was taken to hospital after the attack, with passengers travelling through Green Park Station on the Jubilee Line describing how cops sprinted across the platform before tackling a man in “scary” scenes.
The Tube stop was evacuated and remains closed, with a “massive” police presence.
Videos shared online show several police cars parked outside the busy station and crowds of people watching.
Another appears to show a man being arrested on the platform.
One witness said on Twitter that he appeared to have “blood-stained clothing”.
Another said the detainee was a “machete-wielding maniac”.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “We are currently in attendance at Green Park Underground station following reports of a stabbing on-board a Jubilee Line service.
“Specialist officers have been deployed and the station remains closed while they attend.
“One person has been arrested in connection.”
