Police are investigating after reports of an explosion on a District Line Underground train in south-west London.

A picture on social media showed a white bucket inside a supermarket bag, but does not appear to show extensive damage in the carriage.

Witnesses described seeing at least one passenger with facial injuries.

Others have spoken of "panic" as alarmed passengers left the train at Parsons Green station in the Fulham area of the capital.

London Ambulance Service says it has sent a hazardous area response team to the scene.

BBC London presenter Riz Lateef, who was at Parsons Green on her way in to work, said: "There was panic as people rushed from the train, hearing what appeared to be an explosion"

"People were left with cuts and grazes from trying to flee the scene. There was lots of panic"

BBC News presenter Sophie Raworth says she saw a woman on a stretcher with burns to her face and legs.

Alex Littlefield, 24, a City worker, said: "I was walking around the corner to the Parsons Green Tube station and I saw the raised platform with everyone running and looking upset.

"I saw police officers, fire brigade...

"I saw masses of people and armed police. There were lots of very, very distressed people. We've been pushed right back now."

Natasha Wills, assistant director of operations at London Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 08:20 BST [07:20 GMT] to reports of an incident at Parsons Green underground station.

"We have sent multiple resources to the scene including single responders in cars, ambulance crews, incident response officers and our hazardous area response team, with the first of our medics arriving in under five minutes.

"Our initial priority is to assess the level and nature of injuries. More information will follow when we have it."

Could be nothing, but could be religion of peace. Earlier this year there was a legit bombing attempt of the Central Train station in Brussels but the bomb was just about strong enough to slightly damage the luggage trolley it was on. They seem to be getting worse and worse at this sort of thing...
 
This time will go down in history as the time Europe opened up its gates and allowed itself to be conquered.
 
Looks like a failed terror attack.
Prob wanted to do a 2nd Madrid train bombing
 
Meanwhile in Paris,

A man has been arrested after trying to stab a soldier on patrol in the French capital this morning.

The knifeman attacked the a soldier at the Chatelet metro station – right in the centre of the city – at about 6.30am.

The station – which would have been busy with rush hour commuters – is less than hour's walk from the Eiffel Tower.

He made "remarks referring to Allah", according to a police source quoted in French media.

The soldier – who appears to have escaped unharmed – was carrying out an anti-terror patrol as part of Operation Sentinel.

Operation Sentinel was launched after the Paris attacks, which claimed 130 lives in the French capital in November 2015.

“We do not know more about the intentions of the aggressor”

Florence Parly
French armed forces minister Florence Parly said: "A man has been arrested.

"It is the proof of the professionalism and efficiency of the soldiers of Sentinel in this protection mission.

"We do not know more about the intentions of the aggressor who was arrested – but this new attack fully legitimises what we want to do."

Terror attacks in France since 2000
France has been badly hit by terror attacks since the year 2000 – we take a look at the attacks which have shocked the country, from the Charlie Hebdo shooting to the Paris attack

ABout to make a thread about it hours ago but I found that there were no casualties to sensationalize it. Meh.
 
we had such a heavy stream earlier in the year, I thought we would have tons more of these.
 
is anyone taking bets on this beeing another asian yet?
 
In order to combat Islamophobia the liberals have promptly announced plans to assume that this was the exclusive work of white nationalists. The public is being asked to refrain from even suggesting that a Muslim could have been involved in some way. We cannot allow public safety to get in the way of leftist virtue signaling. We must be wholly tolerant of Islamic terrorism. It's simply a part of their culture and who are we to judge?

In Sweden Muslims receive free sniper training as part of the integration process. Why not grow your own Beltway snipers right liberals?
