'Get out as quick as you can': Canary Wharf tube station evacuated by police following incident

London's Canary Wharf tube station was evacuated today (August 6) with a huge emergency response present outside.

Dozens of commuters inside the station were seen running towards the exit after reports of hearing a police officer to 'get out as fast as you can'. At least eight ambulances and police cars were spotted at the scene, whilst TFL workers and Canary Wharf security guards activated the emergency barriers blocking the main entrance and exit to the station.
