Man Dies Trying To Save Brother After Tube Fall

A man has died on the London Underground after being hit by a train as he tried to save his brother.

The 35-year-old from London was trying to pull his 32-year-old brother to safety at Old Street station when they were both struck.

The older sibling was taken to the Royal London Hospital with serious injuries but died a short time later.

The 32-year-old, from Manchester, who initially fell on to the Northern line, remains in a stable but critical condition.

Both men were struck by an approaching train at 12.22am on Sunday morning.

British Transport Police said they were not currently treating the incident as suspicious but were "working to put together a fuller picture of what happened".

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Adrian Naylor said: "I am keen to speak to anyone who was at the station or on the platform when the incident happened to help us understand how the two men came to be struck by a train."

Transport for London confirmed it was working with the BTP to conduct a "thorough investigation" into what happened.
