The station is close to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and was busy with football fans going home after the Gunners’ win against Bournemouth.

Highbury and Islington has been closed, as well as nearby Finsbury Park.


TfL said the Victoria line has been hit with severe delays as a result of the incident, which they described as a ‘faulty train’.

Eyewitness accounts of the drama have been posted on Twitter, with one person describing it as a ‘scary moment’.
