A man has been left seriously injured after falling from height at a busy train station in London.
The incident happened at Canary Wharf Underground station at around 12.50pm today (August 6).
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 were called to the scene.
The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
British Transport Police temporarily closed off the station, and TfL confirmed the Jubilee line was also closed due to a “customer incident”.
The station later reopened.
Dozens of people inside the station were seen running toward the exit, after reports of an officer shouting to "get out as fast as you can", according to a post on X (formally known as Twitter).
