A man has been critically injured after he was reportedly hit on the head by a Tube train as he bent down to pick up his bag.
The victim was struck by an oncoming Northern line service at Stockwell station around 9am as commuters watched in horror and were "visibly very distressed".
The south London station was closed as medics treated the man whose head was reportedly covered in blood.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, was later taken to hospital where he is in a critical condition.
Witness Chris Duncan tweeted: "Was on this train. Awful. Man hit in the head by oncoming Tube train in horrific accident."
Isabelle Zonderland told London's Evening Standard: "I was on the Tube when it happened. He got hit only metres from our carriage.
"When we were let off the Tube I saw him lying there. Someone who I believe was on the platform was checking for a pulse. His face was covered in blood."
Actor Raj Lucas told the same publication: "I was about midway on the platform and the Tube was pulling in and suddenly I heard screams from the start of the platform.
"The people closer to the incident (who saw it) were visibly very distressed."
London Underground has begun an investigation into the incident. It claimed the station had been busy but the platform was not overcrowded.
Nick Brown, the company's chief operating officer, said: "Just before 9am a passenger on a Northern line platform was struck by a train entering Stockwell station.
"Our emergency response team and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene.
"We are investigating the incident to understand exactly what happened but we have already established that while the station was busy, the platform was not overcrowded."
Last month, Londoner Nick Mann, 35, died of severe head injuries when he attempted to save his 32-year-old brother Robert from being struck by a train at Old Street Tube station.
Robert Mann remains in hospital.
On 12 March, a rush-hour passenger was dragged along Clapham South Tube station in south London after getting her coat caught in a train door.
The woman ended up falling into the gap between two carriages of the Northern line train and was taken to hospital with serious arm and head injuries.
The incident is being investigated by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.
