A man is fighting for his life in hospital after an incident at a busy underground station in London.

Officers were called to reports of a person under a train at London Cannon Street at around 3.20pm today (June 20).

An ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer, and members of the hazardous area response team from London Ambulance Service also attended.

The man was taken to hospital for treatment where his injuries were assessed as life-threatening.

London Cannon Street remains closed with all trains suspended as the incident is being dealt with.

The Circle, District, Hammersmith, and City lines have partially shut which is causing severe delays.

There are no services between Whitechapel and Embankment, Aldgate and Edgware Road, and Liverpool Street and Barking.

If you need someone to talk to, Samaritans are available to contact any time day or night on 116 123.

A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Cannon Street underground station at around 3.20pm today (20 June) following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

“Paramedics also attended, and a person was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.”
