A 24-year-old man has been arrested after tear gas flooded a carriage during a fight on a packed Tube train.

Paramedics treated several passengers at Oxford Circus on the Victoria Line on Saturday due to the effects of the noxious gas.

Their symptoms were limited to coughing and lack of breath, suggesting the substance was CS gas, British Transport Police suggested.

The man, aged 24-years-old and from London, is believed to be one of the group involved in the fight.

He was arrested on suspicion of affray and administering poison with intent to injure or annoy.

He has since been released under investigation while officers carry out further enquiries.

Officers are still appealing for information on the identity of two other men connected to the incident.
