A man has been arrested close to Heathrow Airport after another man was stabbed on a Tube train.
The suspect was held by officers after he was spotted at Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 Underground station on Tuesday afternoon (August 11).
He was held on suspicion of GBH following a horrific suspected knife attack on a 63-year-old man at Finsbury Park Underground station earlier in the day.
The victim was taken to hospital suffering from wounds to his body and face, but is expected to recover.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "A man has been arrested at Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 Underground station on suspicion of GBH after a man was assaulted at Finsbury Park Underground station earlier on Tuesday.
"BTP detectives will be speaking to the man in due course.
"The assault occurred on the southbound Victoria line platform shortly before 1.45pm.
"A 63-year-old man was taken to hospital with cuts to his body and face.
"His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
"Armed BTP officers searching for a possible suspect met a southbound Victoria line train at King's Cross St Pancras Underground station at approximately 3pm."
Specialist armed officers launched a manhunt across the Tube network following the incident.
Victoria line services were briefly disrupted by the incident, but were back up and running as normal by 3.20pm.
