A woman has thanked the stranger who rescued her from a stampede at Parsons Green after an explosion on a District Line train at the station.
Katherine Mason was one of dozens of commuters who were caught up in the panic after the explosion, which Scotland Yard is treating as terror related.
Witnesses described people with burns running from the blast with other people sustaining injuries as they rushed to escape the west London station.
NHS England said it was treating 29 people in hospital but none are thought to be in a serious or life-threatening condition.
But Ms Mason managed to escape injury thanks to the intervention of another passenger.
She thanked him on Twitter, saying: “To the man that pulled me out of the pile of people on the stairs during the stampede at Parsons Green - thank you. Thank you so much.”
Footage from the incident showed a burning plastic container in a shopping bag with black, white and red wires coming out of it.
