The second man arrested in connection with the Parsons Green Tube attack is a party-loving Syrian refugee who worked as a nightclub promoter.

Yahyah Farroukh, a 21-year-old refugee and former foster child, is registered as living at the address in Stanwell where police today conducted a search.

His arrest comes after an 18-year-old was arrested at 7.50am in Dover port on Saturday morning as he attempted to board a ferry.

The 18-year-old was fostered by Ron and Penny Jones in Sunbury-on-Thames before his arrest, as was Farroukh - though he has since left their home.

Neighbours confirmed Farroukh has been regularly seen at the Stanwell address just yards from Heathrow Airport.

The address is also close to Aladdins Fried Chicken in Hounslow, where a man was arrested by undercover police today.

A witness who said they saw undercover police make the arrest in West London, told The Sun: “The guy had just walked past the takeaway when three blokes and a woman came running past and he was rugby tackled to the floor.

“My mates and I thought he was getting jumped. We were going to help him but they shouted ‘undercover police’ so we stepped back.

On Facebook, Farroukh says how he came to Europe from Egypt to Italy on a migrant boat in 2014, and currently works as a nightclub promoter.

The arrested 18-year-old teenager is suspected of planting the Parsons Green tube bomb. He is a refugee from Iraq who came to the UK after his parents were killed, it was claimed tonight.

CCTV footage released tonight showed a man with a Lidl bag like the one containing the bomb which exploded on the train, injuring 30.

With dark collar-length hair, in a maroon cap, he was pictured near the foster couple's home at 6.50am, just 90 minutes before a fireball ripped through the packed carriage on Friday.

The footage, obtained by ITV, was captured near the property in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, raided by armed police who evacuated neighbouring homes within 100 metres.

Police sped to the property after an 18-year-old was arrested at 7.50am in Dover port on Saturday morning as he attempted to board a ferry.

It is understood he had come to Britain aged 15 after he had spent months attempting to smuggle himself into the UK, while living in the notorious makeshift Calais refugee camp known as The Jungle.

A refugee charity is believed to have helped his passage into Britain in 2014 and placed him in foster care with at least two families in Kent, before he moved in with another family in South West London in the last few weeks.

Conservative leader of Spelthorne Borough Council Ian Harvey – whose ward is Sunbury East close to where the teenager had been living – said last night: “One thing I understand is that he was an Iraqi refugee who came here aged 15. His parents died in Iraq.”

Penelope and Ronald Jones, aged 71 and 88, who received MBEs from the Queen for services to children and families, took the Iraqi teen into their home after a lifetime devoted to caring for vulnerable children.

But neighbours told yesterday how the couple – who have been foster parents for almost 40 years, taking in up to 300 children, including eight refugees – were “at their wits’ end” with the teenager who had only been living with them for weeks.

The suspect, who is being held in custody on suspicion of planting the homemade bucket bomb on the London Underground, is said to have had a furious bust-up with his foster parents two weeks ago after he was brought back to the house in leafy Sunbury-upon-Thames in a marked police car.

The area is just a 37-minute train ride from Wimbledon station, where the tube that was bombed began its journey.

It is understood he was picked up by police at Parsons Green station two weeks ago – where the bomb exploded – before being escorted back to the Jones’ home in a squad car.

Scotland Yard forensics officers wearing protective overalls, hoods and face masks were inside the Stanwell flat throughout yesterday. It is believed no explosive materials were found there.

Steven Griffiths, who lives across from Penny and Ron, told how police said the couple’s home would be examined by forensics officers for “at least a week” after “significant materials” were found in the loft space above the house.

He said: “I think that while Penny and Ron have been away, the lads were in the loft taking bit by bit down.

“It was only yesterday when they said the guy had been making bombs in there that I thought: ‘What?’ This is all just crazy.”

Builder Dave Solway, 44, who also lives opposite the elderly couple, told of a row between the 18-year-old suspect and Ron outside the home.

“The lad was out the front shouting and swearing at Ron, telling him he was leaving. I know the couple were at their wits’ end, I think they were told he was a lot younger than he is which is why they agreed to take him in.

“Poor Ron was trying to get the lad to go in the house but he just kept saying he wanted to leave for London.

“I can’t believe this has happened to such nice people, I really feel for them.”

Family friend Jim Adaway, 37, said the Joneses had only recently returned to foster caring to help resettle youngsters from overseas, after requests.

He said: “I think Penny was getting in touch with the council and telling them she couldn’t handle the teenager as he was out of control. I don’t know if they felt it was the right decision to start taking kids on again which is such a shame after everything they’ve done.”

Other neighbours told how terror police recovered explosives from the Jones’ house. A mum – who identified herself as Carrie and lives on the evacuated road – said police told her they had found 15 firearms at the house and a bomb in the garden.

But police refused to comment on speculation about what was found.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd yesterday said the UK’s threat level has been lowered from critical to severe. She added: “It still means an attack is highly likely, so I would urge everybody to continue to be vigilant but not alarmed.”

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, the country’s top counter-terrorism officer, said police were gaining a “greater understanding of the preparation of the device”.

Security services are trying to find how the Iraqi teen entered the country and who he had associated with.

Just one person was last night still being treated in hospital following the bomb attempt – for serious wounds to their lower body.
