TUBE PASSENGER, 101, DRAGGED ALONG PLATFORM AFTER COAT GETS CAUGHT
A 101-year-old Tube passenger suffered serious injuries after being dragged along a platform when their coat became stuck in train doors on the Northern Line.
The so-called 'tap and drag' incident happened at Archway station in February last year.
The elderly passenger was said to have required hospital treatment for 'serious' injuries after being dragged 2m along the platform.
It comes after the Rail Accident Investigation Branch issued a report on the incident today, suggesting four recommendations to London Underground to improve safety.
Two months after the incident, a similar 'tap and drag' occurred at Chalk Farm, which is also on the Northern Line.
