Man arrested after attack on Jubilee Line at Green Park station

A man has been arrested after an alleged stabbing on board a Jubilee Line train at Green Park station during rush hour.

The central London station was closed following the reported attack and a victim was taken to hospital.

No officers were injured in the attack, British Transport Police said.

A video on social media shows a man in handcuffs surrounded by plain-clothed police being spoken to by an armed officer.

Supt Mark Lawrie said that a weapon was recovered at the scene and the station will be re-opened imminently.

A BTP Twitter account said that officers were called to reports of a stabbing on-board a Jubilee Line service.

They added: “Specialist officers have been deployed and the station remains closed while they attend. One person has been arrested in connection.”
