Armed police are at Oxford Circus responding to an incident.

Seeing on Twitter reports of smoke and people running away from the scene of what has happened, still unclear as to what it is.

Met. Police are now saying if people are on Oxford Steet to get in to a building.... :erm:

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Reports are all over the place, Twitter spreading panic.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Yes, I have just seen this....

"Reports of Lorry on pavement and blood around, also gunshots at Oxford Circus station, shutters down on shops and people told don't come out."

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Bond Street Station closed as well.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Ollie Murs has tweeted to get out of Selfridges as shots have been fired. He was in there.

Bond street shut to stop over crowding

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Three tube stations closed now as Tottenham Court Road Station has been closed as well..

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus

I find it strange how Olly Murs was tweeting he was in the store where there was gunshots...

He’s clearly an idiot.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Police say Oxford Circus incident is over now.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

A uneducated prejudiced idiot if ever l saw one.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

And the loss of his Twitter verification tick recently, clearly highlights this.

I think people need to start acting more responsibly. If we're not careful someone who's panicking about nothing is going to start a stampede in which people are killed or maimed. That's just doing the terrorists' work for them.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Piers Morgan got in to a bit of a twitter spat with Olly Murs over his earlier tweet, said he was wrong to tweet to people and tell them to evacuate when the Met Police were saying stay in shops etc.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Well that's the world we're in now sadly isn't it. Idiots posting all sorts of guff without any real foundation and without thinking of the consequences. Morons.

Two blokes having a barney on the platform at Oxford and the snowflakes go into meltdown on social media. Pathetic. :rolleyes:

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

Yes, it is pathetic and dangerous. These people increasingly lives their lives according to what other people tell them online, despite the fact that they ought to know by now that so much of it is ill informed and even malicious rubbish. Where's the common sense gone? Don't they think for themselves anymore? :shrug:

As it is 16 people have been injured in the chaos, all of it caused by other people being irresponsible. How long before people die?? Then the media will be having a feeding frenzy reporting that fatalities have resulted from an entirely unnecessary panic driven by nothing...

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
 

So now actual terrorists have learned that all they really need to do is create the illusion of an incident, and the snowflakes will do the rest for them.
