Following the incident on Friday, eyewitness Abi spoke to getwestlondon and said she saw the evacuation of Marble Arch station from the opposite platform.
She said: “It was incredibly scary, it really was terrifying - I’ve lived in London 11 years and never seen anything like this before.
“I was on the westbound train which pulled into Marble Arch. The doors opened and pretty soon after there was loads of screaming coming from the other platform and lots of people ran away from the commotion.
“I couldn’t hear anything, there was so much screaming and the alarm went off on the train, which I assume is because someone had pulled it.”
She added: “The train driver got off and walked down for two or three minutes and lots of people went on the platform.
“The train driver then got off at Ealing Broadway and I asked what had happened and he said he thinks it was a fight, so I assume that’s why the station was shutting.
“It was terrifying, very scary, all the passengers left on the train were very nervous.”
