Olly Murs's Tweets Olly Murs Olly Murs @ollyofficial · 5m Listen piers! I was shopping and then all of sudden the whole place went mad, I mean crazy people running & screaming towards exits. We found a small office to hide to which loads of staff and people were saying there was shots fired. If you was there you’d have understood mate. Piers Morgan @piersmorgan Stop tweeting mate @ollyofficial. Nothing happened. |

In years to come people will ask, in hushed and awed tones. "Where were you when Oliver M single-handedly took charge of an Anti-Terror Operation with just a smartphone and a Twitter account, while he sat down to eat a richly-deserved portion of jellied eels?"

Anyone hear the interview with a female witness on 5live earlier? She said it was about a huge gang and I'm almost confident she said they were Eastern Europeans.
Anyone confirm? |

I feel a bit sorry for this Oliver M chap, of whom I previously knew very little.
He just felt a bit peckish and naturally popped out for an evening meal at the Frog and Peach, Oxford Street. Next thing he is at the epicentre of a Pretendy Terror Attack and is the Global Focal Point for reportage. Let's all hope Her Majesty will remember his selfless sacrifice the next time they dish out the gongs. |

Not up to speed on this story, but from bits I have read, seems Olly Murs started to panic. First he said he heard gunshots then later in his response to Piers Morgan he said he was told there was gunshots. Olly would not be a very reliable news source as a War Reporter !

So Olly Murs went into panic mode and started tweeting hysterically. So no shooting, and apparently a "full-out fight" on the London Underground sparked Oxford Street panic, and mass evacuation of three central tube stations. Don't know that for fact but just read it (and not in the Daily Mail or Olly Murs twiiter page !)

British Transport Police say this afternoons mass evacuation at Oxford Street tube station was caused by an 'altercation' between two men on one of the platforms. Witnesses say a brawl broke out after one of the men bumped into the other |

Nothing on the 5live report? I'll give it a listen on ketchup. Can't remember the time ... between 5:30 & 6pm, at a guess.

Hannah's eye-witness report, from 2:08:15 (18:08 last evening) for three minutes ...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09fytfb Does she say "East" Europeans bang on 2:10:00? I can't quite make out the first word. Long story (well, three minute) short - the whole thing was started by two people fist fighting with a gang of these 20 Europeans. Odds of a false flag / test operation? The Metropolitan Police said it began receiving "numerous" 999 calls reporting gunshots in Oxford Street and at Oxford Circus station at 16:38 GMT on Friday. The first armed response vehicle was on the scene in less than a minute from receiving the first call, the force said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42123644 |
