Tube train evacuated — man shot

A train has been evacuated at Stockwell, passengers heard gunshots and were told to evacuate the train.

An eyewitness has said he saw armed men (plainclothes police?) pursue a man who looked like someone of Pakistani origin onto the train and fire five shots into him, almost certainly killing him.

The shooting of a man at Stockwell has been confirmed by the police.

BBC1 has switched to News 24, and there are eyewitness accounts on it. It seems the man was running onto the train, stumbled as he tried to enter it, and was shot by three armed plainclothes policemen. Police aren't saying much about their shooting of the man as yet.
