The station was shut down for around an hour as emergency services converged on the scene.

Videos and photos uploaded by passersby show multiple ambulances, police cars and fire engines parked outside the central London station.

Police say the incident is not being treated as suspicious and they are working to notify the injured man’s family.

It is the third tragedy on the capital’s transport network in two days, after two men died in separate incidents at Canary Wharf within 24 hours.

A 32-year-old man fell to his death from an escalator inside the station on Monday afternoon, while a man in his 50s was pronounced dead after plunging from the fourth floor of a shopping complex next to the station yesterday morning.
