However, Scotland Yard later released CCTV images, saying an altercation between two men led to the chaos in the area. "We are releasing CCTV images of two men we would like to speak with, following the incident at Oxford Circus earlier today," the Metropolitan Police said. The British Transport Police (BTP) said the altercation took place inside the busy Oxford Circus underground train station, "triggering a mass evacuation". The London Ambulance Service said the injuries were sustained as passengers fled from Oxford Circus Tube station, in what witnesses said was "a stampede". The Oxford Circus and a neighbouring area were placed under temporary lockdown as police investigated the cause of the panic.
