(32 minutes later) | |
Passengers fled the London Underground's Waterloo tube station in panic, jumping over ticket barriers and racing up the escalators, after witnessing three loud bangs and flashes on the platform. | |
The British capital’s transport authorities said they were investigating “a customer incident,” without revealing further details. | |
Waterloo tube station was closed “as a precaution” late on Friday, which paralyzed traffic on the underground's entire Jubilee line. | |
Witnesses reported on Twitter that they'd heard three loud bangs on the platform, while some also saw bright orange flashes. However, there has been no confirmation of a firearm, a bomb or any other weapon used. | |
Operations on the Jubilee line were restored after a short break, but passengers experienced “severe delays.” | |
