Police Investigate Shots Fired At Oxford Circus Tube Station

Armed police are responding to reports of shots being fired at London’s Oxford Circus Tube station.

The Met said it was responding as if the incident was terrorist related and urged people on nearby Oxford Street to take cover inside buildings. “Oxford Circus Station is closed while we investigate a customer incident,” Transport for London said.

The Met said armed and unarmed police were at the scene. “At this stage police have not located any casualties,” the force said in a statement.

Nearby Bond Street Tube station had also been closed, to prevent overcrowding.

In a statement on Twitter, British Transport Police said: “We continue to respond to an incident at Oxford Circus.

“The station is currently closed, please avoid the area at this time. Officers are on scene.”
