British Transport Police said they believed the security scare started with “an altercation between two men” on the platform of Oxford Circus Underground station. “We checked over and treated several patients who sustained injuries while leaving the Oxford Circus area,” it said. Oxford Circus station was later reopened, as was nearby Bond Street, which had been closed for fear of overcrowding. They later said there were “numerous 999 (emergency) calls” reporting shots fired in a number of locations in the area. The most recent involved a bomb on a packed London Underground train in southwest London in September, which injured 30 people.
