Heathrow Tube closed after knife death
The Tube link to Heathrow airport has been closed after a teenager was killed at a west London station last night.
British Transport Police and the Metropolitan Police were called in to Hounslow West Underground station late last night after an 18-year-old man was stabbed during a fight involving up to eight people.
The knife victim was taken to hospital after police arrived at the scene at 11.20pm, but he died shortly after arrival.
Two men were arrested and are in custody at a west London police station.
Hounslow West Underground station was closed and Piccadilly Line services are not expected to get back on track before 1pm, pending the completion of the police search of the area.
London Underground (LU) has apologised to passengers but said the move was necessary.
Fifteen alternative bus services have been set up in order to cope with the anticipated transport chaos.
Passengers are advised to seek alternative routes – such as the Heathrow Express and other overland routes – and to allow more time for their journeys.
