I witnessed something truly horrifying on the tube ride home today.
Before anyone mentions it, I have already contacted the BTP.
I’m still shaking from what I experienced. While heading home from work, two men got on and immediately began to fight. It all happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard. One of the men was already bleeding — I believe he jumped onto our train to escape the other guy who was attacking him. They were swinging at each other, and then the aggressor pulled out something sharp and slashed the other man’s face. It was terrifying. Blood was everywhere — on the floor, on the doors, on me, and on other passengers. I felt nauseous from shock as it unfolded, but somehow managed to keep it together.
I’m not looking for anything specific, just needed a space to share what I saw.
I’m so sorry to hear that you had to witness such a traumatic event. That sounds incredibly frightening and shocking, and it’s completely normal to feel shaken up after seeing something so violent. It’s good that you called the British Transport Police, as they need to know about these incidents. Please make sure to take care of yourself and talk to someone about how you’re feeling. It’s okay to reach out for support, whether it’s friends, family, or even a professional if you need it. You’re not alone in this, and it’s perfectly valid to process what you saw.
