Specialist police and paramedics rushed to the scene and panicked bystanders were warned to stay away
from the area. Confused residents were escorted out of their homes and others were instructed to stay in
restaurants and shops to avoid danger. 

One witness told the Standard that someone was seen being taken out of the station on a stretcher.
Officers said a "small number " of people were being treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service.
The road has been cordoned off and the station evacuated. Explosive sniffer dogs were at the scene.

Darren Yarlett, a city worker, 36, was driving home in Southgate but police had taped off the roads near to the
station. He told the Standard: "The police moved us on, but they said there was an explosion in the station.
"There must be around 50 or 60 police, an ambulance, fire arms and dog units."

He added: "I didn't hear anything so don't want to jump to any conclusions but the amount of ambulances would
say something has happened."

A police statement said: "Police were called at 7.03pm on Tuesday, 19 June, to reports of an explosion and
people running at Southgate underground station. "Met officers remain at the scene along with colleagues from
British Transport Police, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service.

"Cordons are in place and the station is closed. Enquires are ongoing to establish the cause of the reported
explosion, which appears to have been minor.
"We are not aware of any serious injury.

“Officers remain at #Southgate tube station. Enquires are ongoing to establish the cause of a reported minor
explosion at 19:03 hours. We are not aware of any serious injury.”

British Transport Police added; "We are currently dealing with an incident at #Southgate tube station.
Officers are at the scene. More info as we get it."
The Tube line was reporting severe delays between Arnos Grove and Cockfosters.
There are minor delays on the rest of the line...'
