A commuter was hit in the head by an oncoming train as he bent down to pick up his belongings at a London underground station on Friday morning.
The man, thought to be in his 20s, was rushed to Kings College Hospital with serious head injuries after the horrific accident at Stockwell station shortly before 9am.
His condition is unknown.
Witnesses said the man had bent down to either pick up his bag or pick up a lighter as the train approached.
One claimed that his head had been "pretty much sliced off" and another said she had seen his "brain hanging out" although paramedics confirmed that he was alive on arrival at hospital.
