Police Shoot Man at London Subway Station
1 minute ago
LONDON - Police shot a man wearing a thick coat at a London subway station on Friday, a day after the city was hit by a second wave of terror attacks in two weeks. The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately clear, nor was the man's condition.
British Transport Police said the Northern and Victoria Tube lines, which pass through Stockwell, were suspended because of shooting.
Passengers said they saw police pursuing a man who appeared to be of Pakistani or Indian descent. Some said police shot him when he tripped.
But one witness told the British Broadcasting Corp. that police "pushed him onto the floor and unloaded five shots into him."
"He looked like a cornered fox. He looked pertrified," Mark Whitby said.
Whitby said it didn't look like the man was carrying anything but said he was wearing a thick coat that looked padded.
Another witness said there were at least 20 police officers involved in the chase.
"The next thing I saw was this guy jump over the barriers and the police officers were chasing after him and everyone was just shouting, 'Get out, Get out!'" said Chris Wells, 28.
Subway passenger Briony Coetsee said she heard gunshots shortly after the shouts to get out.
Alistair Drummond, of the London Ambulance Service, said paramedics had been called to the station at 10:10 a.m.

taff said:I dont know if anybody was hurt, events in London this morning have put the story on the back burner so i havent heard anymore.They are saying the area in Leeds that the bombers came from is like a powder keg at the moment.
Well relatively speaking, as are we all.
Attempted arson at bomber's house
Germaine Lindsay
Germaine Lindsay has been named by police as one of the bombers
Arsonists are believed to have attacked the family home of the 7 July London suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police were called to the unoccupied house in Northern Road, Aylesbury, Bucks, at 0630 BST after report of a strong smell of petrol in the street.
Houses in the immediate area have been evacuated while police and fire services examine the situation.
Police said the incident is being treated as an attempted arson attack.
Police are appealing to anyone who was in the area on Thursday night or in the early hours of Friday morning to contact them.
Lindsay, 19, died in 7 July bomb attack on the Piccadilly Line London Underground train, which killed 26 people.
Scene of bus explosion
Lindsay's wife Samantha Lewthwaite has expressed her horror
Last week, officers of the Metropolitan police and Thames Valley Police began a search of the semi-detached house on Northern Road, which Lindsay had shared with his wife, Samantha Lewthwaite.
Ms Lewthwaite, who is not currently at the house, last week condemned her husband's attack as "horrific".
Supt Carole Haveron said: "The substance was found around the family home of the fourth London bomber which is currently unoccupied.
"To conduct a premeditated attack like this is in itself a crime that puts the lives of innocent people in Northern Road at risk who themselves are united against the atrocities that took place in London.
"We would urge anyone who may have information about the person or people who carried out this act to contact us as soon as possible."
