Trapped in the Tube

A GUNMAN seized £8,500 from a camera shop in Baker Street yesterday, shooting an assistant who tried to stop him.
A passerby - 24-year-old secretary Vivien Ford - saw the smartly- dressed robber running from the shop and followed him along Baker Street and into Baker Street Tube Station.
When the man got on to a southbound train, she ran up to a London Transport official, shouting that he should stop the train because there was a gun¬man on it.
“This woman appeared on the platform shouting for us to stop the train because there was a gun¬man on board,’’station foreman Da¬vid Stokes, 48, said later. “We did so, although I suppose it was risky.” The staff shut the doors of the train, locking the robber in with the passengers. Police sealed off the station and searched the train coach by coach until they found and arrested the criminal.
“Many of us didn't know what was happening,” said a passenger. “It's a good thing nobody panicked.” A London Transport spokesman praised the staff for stopping the train. “It was a difficult situation for them,” he said, “but they did the right thing.” The shop assistant, Mr Peter Cart¬wright, 37, was “in satisfactory condition” in hospital yesterday evening following an operation on an arm wound.
Last night a man was helping the police with their inquiries.
